This MySpace Page is a way for me to display some of my abilities, and hopefully showcase a few projects/properties for potential clients and consumers.
I have been doing comics and sequectial art for most of my life. My first published gig was when I was 15 in my small town paper, since then my main love has been "alternative" or "small press" comics and have created a wide variety of work for a number of companies as well as many self publishing ventures.
My first love is comics and graphic storytelling in general. I have created a number of different and diverse properties, most of which I still own and control, though I am completely available to design and develop properties for others as well. I feel that Graphic Storytelling (Comics) is one of the most underused and under appreciated art forms, and have made it my goal to not only make it more accessible to the masses, but to make something of a living of it in the process.
I invite ALL to look around my page and let me know what they think of my work. If you are interested in hiring me for work please feel free to contact me through this page. No job is too small, and most jobs cannot be too big.
You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor!
Who I'd like to meet: Here, potential clients and people who are interested in and appreciate my work. I am available for work and willing to help you in your design, cartooning, and graphic storytelling needs.
