Drawings From Days Gone By

Here's some old pages from a sketchbook I used to keep. This is back when I was using color and quoting Black Sabbath. I used to be pretty rockin' back then. Special thanks to Alaina Lincoln who found, scanned and emailed these to me. Enjoy!




Find A Map And Get Lost

Well it's official! I'm a graduate from the Center For Cartoon Studies! Oh YEAH! Not only that but my entire class graduated which is a first for the school. So all in all we rocked the CCS thesis year! The graduation ceremony was on Saturday and it was spectacular. There was dancing, laughing, crying, a beautiful speech from Francoise Mouly and a diploma designed by Aaron Reiner. Here's a video of the entire ceremony. It was quite a whirlwind of emotions and even now it's hard to believe I'm done at CCS. It's truly a sad but joyous time in my life. Here's some photos my work being showcased at the school.





Also my classmate Josh Kramer has taken the liberty of setting up a blog about our senior showcase. Be sure to check out everyone's artwork. It's all great! As of right now I have several different projects on the horizon but am taking a little time off to relax. But I'll soon be posting some new doodles and old sketchbook pages. So stay tuned!

Hey Thesis! You're Done Suckah!

BZZOW! My thesis project for CCS is finally complete! After 9 months of writing, drawing and packaging I'm finally done! Phew! For my project I decided to package the first two issues of Grump Toast in cardboard toasters! I constructed these out of recycled beer and cereal boxes. Then I wrapped em' up in aluminum foil. It was a process that took 3 days of carboard insanity. Ingenious? Maybe. Frustrating as all holy Hell to make? Oh indeed. But it was all worth it! Check it...






In other news Nymphonomena (last year's CCS anthology I was involved in) was listed at number 14 on the Comics Journal's Top 25 minis of 2010. This couldn't have come at a better time because us Nymphonomenites are about to embark on our third reprinting! Oh what exciting times we live in! Wheee!
