I’m heading back to the world of ‘The Needleman’ for my contribution to ‘SKRAWL Comix Magazine’ issue 2! It’s a self contained short called ‘No Easy Exits’… here’s a sneaky peek… (SKRAWL 2 will be Kickstarting later in the year BTW!) @skrawllordz #SKRAWL2

The first time I ever saw myself in a piece of media was when Mercutio made a pun while he was literally bleeding to death

the slow regression from me always, ALWAYS texting with correct punctuation to now almost never doing so is one of my clearest character arcs in life

Sad news: Alas, I was not a finalist for this year’s Platform Comics #10KChallenge. 😢 RAD news: I still made a pretty delightful story, and I’d love for you to read it! 😄 So, wanna see “Finish Lines” in full? Just drop your boy a DM, and I’ll send you a link! #SpreadTheComics

So the OFF INTO THE SUNSET campaign is officially done and funded (!!) 1st time I'm part of a kickstarter and I'm in awe of the response-- not that I had anything to do with it! Only hitched a ride on the back of @BrenttHarshman and his wonderful band of creators. THANK YOU ALL!

FOLKS: we've got 2 days left to raise $3,300. We're close! We can do it! But we need your help. SO: if we can do $300 of that by noon, I'll post Page 1 of the script for my story with @H_vonn & @micahmyers. The more we raise, the more I post. Let's go! kickstarter.com/projects/off…
