1952 Vincent Black Lightning . [Comic site]

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.

My Worst-Case Scenario . [Comic site]

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.

Sundays and Thursdays

A French girl and her mom try to make a home among the various Jewish communities of upstate New York. Sundays and Thursdays is intended as a full-length graphic novel in four parts. Parts one and two are now complete; inking will be saved for the end to keep the style consistent.

The interlude between chapter one and two is done. It will be included in a compilation of work for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) Art Festival in 2010. It has not yet been placed in a CMS, but here are the raw images.
