Autoptic 2018
This Sunday I will be tabling at the Autoptic Festival in Minneapolis Minnesota. I will be debuting a new mini-comic about home-made stringed instruments, titled Sounds From Scrap, along with other comics and prints. This will be the first convention I will be attending since my health crisis, and I'm excited to get back in the game! If you'll be in the area, feel free to stop by and say "hello!" Hope to see some of you there! (8/15/2018)
Main event is on Sunday August 19th at the Aria Event Center, 105 North Street, Minneapolis, MN. Doors open at 10:00 am and close at 6:00 pm. Additional information about the event can be found on the event website. Link provided below. autoptic.org |

Diddley Bow Blues - Now available on Etsy!
I recently made an Etsy store to sell the cigar box guitars I've been making, but realized that this would also be a great platform to sell my cigar box guitar related graphic novella, Diddley Bow Blues. I doubt that I will do another reprint, so once they run out, they're gone! If you would like to buy one of your own, visit the link below! (11/29/2017)

Inktober 2017
This first year I am participating in Inktober. I initially considered using the suggested drawing prompts, but I've decided to make my own. Since autumn is by far the best season for beer, that will be my theme. I will be posting my daily drawings on both my Twitter and Instagram accounts. Be sure to follow if you haven't already, and give a like or two if you feel so inclined. Happy inking, everyone! (10/1/2017)

If you don't know already Pabst Brewing Co. is hosting yet another PBR Art Competition for 2017. $30,000 in grand prizes will be given away between three categories including 2D, 3D, and Art Can. The contest officially opened on July 1st, but will be accepting submissions until October 1st. Though I am a little late to the game, I will still be throwing my hat in the ring with at least one submission to the Art Can category. Designs must display the official Pabst Blue Ribbon logo or can, but other than that the contest is pretty open ended. More info including the official rules and regulations can be found in the link below.

Long Overdue Update...
Hello all! It's been a while, and lot has happened. While working in Minnesota I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Lupus, which has effected my ability to draw and write over the past several months. However, with proper medical care and the motivation and assistance of friends and family, my health has dramatically improved and I am finally able to create again.
Now that my manual dexterity and focus are back in full force, I will continue to maintain my online presence on my social media accounts and this website. It was reassuring to see that over this extended hiatus my website traffic has increased. Thank you all for your continued support. (6/25/2017)
