I like to think that I use both sides of my brain in equal proportions, but this page is dedicated exclusively to the output generated by the grey matter clumped in the right side of my skull.

If you're curious about the identity of those artists who have had the most influence on my life, look up the following people: Andy Warhol, Robert Crumb, Vladimir Nabokov, Art Spiegelman, Frank Herbert, The Ashcan School, Hayao Miyazaki, Truman Capote, Vincent Van Gogh, Dame Darcy, Robert Heinlein, Keiji Nakazawa, Jim Woodring, Tori Amos, Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Beck, Nick Cave, and PJ Harvey. Of course there's more, but that's a pretty good set to get you started.

Currently, I'm working on a 24 page comic book about urban degenerates in general and crackheads in particular. For samples of my comic work, look at this strip based on the work of Rachel Birdsong or the ants page based on my own horrific experiences.
