I’ve always been a fan of silent storytelling. My intent is always to make a comic story that also works as a piece of art.
Born in northern New York seven years before I saw Star Wars for the first time. While spending the better portion of my early life watching tv, going to movies and playing video games, little did I realize this was to be the essential ground work for a career in cartooning and graphic design.
My first book, A Book About Design: Complicated Doesn’t Make it Good, was published in the fall of ‘05 and very well reviewed. It’s still available online and in bookstores everywhere while my second design book was released in the fall of ‘07 and is also available online. I still enjoy watching tv, movies and playing video games.
The third collection of Mr.Oblivious comic strips. As with most things, Mr.Oblivious began with a question. How many times can you tell the same joke and still make it funny (or at least reasonable... More > funny?) and could it be done in a comic strip? It never dawned on me growing up how many cartoons I watched that were the same story with just a different take. Who's in the mask this week? What wacky invention will the Coyote try today? The list goes on and on. I loved them anyway no matter how many times I watched and still do.< Less

Ten years in the making!
I've exhibited and sold posters at various comic conventions around the country for years. This book has the first 35 posters I've done and each poster/page has 50-100 hours... More > of work behind them. That's a lot of hours!< Less
