1952 started as a 24-hour comic, completed over President's
Day Weekend, 2007, but in reality all inking and scanning
was completed at a later date. Lyrics are from the song
by Richard Thompson as sung by Del McCoury. Nine pages total. [Comic site]
This was my first attempt at sequential art after many years
of single-panel comics. A twist on the traditional Hasidic
legend about villagers trying to reach the moon. Pen and
ink, Photoshop. Nine pages total. [Comic

In early 2008, while backpacking through the Cook Islands I got a mosquito-born tropical-something-or-other and had to spend the next three months laying on a couch in Roanoke, Virginia. When everyone got tired of my moping they forced me to draw the following comic. Enjoy. [Comic site]
Each card in this series takes about two years to complete. Card Part 4 is currently in the process of being penciled
in. Card Part 1 was from 1998 and unbelievably bad. Pen and ink.
This painting was completed in watercolors and then remastered
in Photoshop.

Squishables Design
Squishables are giant round fuzzy plush animals sold by the company Squishable...which I own. A number were designed in collaboration with prominent web cartoonists. Are they cute? Yes they are.
Toy Design
Plush and knit toy design for Squishable. Knit items are created by a Fair Trade Women's collective in Bangladesh, and many of the plush items are made from renewable soy or bamboo materials.
