Hello again. I know I'm a little bit over my 2 week update schedule, but I'm between semesters so I've been spending a lot of time just hanging around with my wonderful and amazing partner and wife Rudy and recovering from the stress of graduate school. It's been great, and much needed.
Nothing lasts forever, though, and I've started work on a new series of pen and ink pieces, so the first of those will be up in the art section soon, with more to follow. I've also begun work on the 4th issue of my comic "Spudd 64" and I'm thinking of posting preview pages as well.
Most importantly, I owe several people a huge thank you. First, and always, to Rudy for being so patient, brilliant, and wonderful and supporting everything I do.
Huge thanks also to Angela K., one of my best and most dearly missed friends, and to Stephanie W. of New York and Kyle Wallace of Ohio for being the very first people EVER to contact me through this site and actually want to buy my stuff. You have no idea how amazing that feels, and I will never ever forget the three of you. Your books are already on the way (except for you, Angela, since I hope to give you yours in person, and very soon) and you should have them shortly. Be sure to let me know what you think.
I also want to send much gratitude to Sean McKeever for his many many helpful suggestions on this web site. His critique was invaluable, and you'll be seeing lots of tweaks and changes over the next few weeks thanks to his input. Also, thanks to Tom Williams, Aaron Fitzwater, and Dara Naraghi, all of whom took a thorough look at my site, shared their impressions, and provided me with loads of valuable feedback and critique.
That's all for now. New art with the next update, promise! See ya!

Well, I finally did it! All coded by me, using nothing but my PC and lots of HTML. So to you, my new guests, please take a look around at the art and photography galleries as well as the comics section. There will be screenprints by the end of the summer and 35mm black and white photographs developed, printed, and hand-toned by me by the end of this year. Pinhole photographs will be up very shortly, and I will constantly be adding new art, sketches, and digital photographs. Comics are available and for sale, so take a look at the preview pages in the comics section.
Also, some of the art on this site is available for sale, and I am always willing to consider commissions and requests for pieces.
Finally, I'd love to hear what you think of this site, the design, and of course the art and photography you'll find within. E-mail me, and I promise I'll get back to you right away.
Oh, almost forgot, I'll be updating this NEWS section every 2 weeks, so check back, okay? See ya!
That's all for now. New art with the next update, promise! See ya!
