About me:
Templar, Arizona jumps to print! Click here for details.

I draw comics. A lot. You should read them.

Templar, Arizona is the story of a town, and the people who live there.

Templar is fictional, but it isn't a Gotham or a Metropolis. It's not a stand-in for a real town, and I'm pretty sure the spot on the map where I tend to place it is really a national park.

It's in Arizona, but not the Arizona you're probably thinking of. This is a different Arizona. This is a slightly irregular Arizona that fell off the back of a truck somewhere, and now all the power outlets are a weird shape and a couple of wars never happened.

This comic updates twice a week, sometimes more. Click the image to start from the beginning, or here to see the latest page.

Sparkneedle is an experimental, wordless comic, not for the faint of heart or soft of brain. False demons, phony angels, and the evolution of sentience. Don't worry, it all makes sense. Eventually.

This comic's currently on hiatus, but you can read the first two chapters here. And just so you know, THIS COMIC FEATURES VIOLENCE AND NUDITY. Not cubicle safe. But hey, if your office door locks, go nuts.

Blikada: Coming-of-age, politics, adventure, and war on an alien world. Three disreputable, bumpkin brothers chase a little glory... but don't know quite what to do when they catch it.

This comic is featured on the comic anthology site Serializer! It updates every Wednesday, and you can read it here. And it wallows in GRAPHIC ALIEN-ON-ALIEN VIOLENCE. Consider yourselves warned, and all.
Who I'd like to meet:
Surprise me.
