This is a collection of comic books and pages created over the past few years by me, featured here for your enjoyment. Some of the single page comix were printed in Mad Happies, a monthly underground comix tabloid printed in San Francisco. Check out my blog for current projects.
Self Published Comix
Ofus And Stantch (2008)
This is the introduction of a story about two friends living in the city who go on an undersea adventure to meet their rock and roll hero, who just happens to be more hardcore than they thought. This story is supposed to continue through 3 issues.
White rabbit, A fine Print Press Anthology (2008)
In this anthology, I created a 5 page story entitled "Hands," about a young man who has a problem with hands. It's a coming of age story that goes horribly awry.
Vessel (2007)
Vessel was realised during another 24 comics Jam where the story had only developed into 12 pages. I decided to develop the story further towards something more compelling. This comic took about a year to finally materialize.
Orifice (2005)
Orifice comic was created for 24 comics Day, a challenge to comic book artists world wide to create a book, pencils/inks and all, within 24 hours, an event hosted and created by Scott McCloud. Incidentally, this is also the first comic book where I explore the use of a cohesive narrative.
Rodeo! (2004)
This was the third book created in the same manner as the Mother's Womb, except with better coffee , a new location (San Francisco) and a new girlfriend, a certain lady cartoonist who inspired me to continue creating comix.
The Mother's Womb (2000)
This was the second comic book I self published. It's contents were developed through stream of consciousness drawing while listening to a variety of contemporary musics, drinking copious amounts of coffee, heartbreak, and sitting in a particular 24 donut shop located in a small town somehwere in California.
Audio Interpretations
Audio Lilienthal - Music For Trailers (2007)
This created in the spirit of The Mother's Womb in that I wanted to illustrate the imagery that i saw when listening to a particular album.This is a band that resides in the hills and crevices of Dublin, CA. They are a collection of cells that have decided to all stick together to form the singular Phil. Check out their music.
Pumice - Pebbles (2007)
This is the second Audio Interpretation comic I created for a band from New Zealand. I met Stefan in Amsterdam while sketching people and buildings and stuff. He's also a comic book maker. Check out his music.
