Comics

As a kid, I remember waking up every Sunday morning, eagerly awaiting my dad’s arrival home with a thick Sunday paper and a sack of fresh donuts from the grocery store. Comics and chocolate donuts. What could be better? I’d flop belly-down on the carpet, flip to the sacred center of the paper, and pull out the glorious, full-color funnies. It was there I’d catch glimpses of myself in comics like Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, For Better or For Worse, and Zits, and try to comprehend the adult world through the panels of Fox Trot, Arlo and Janis, Garfield, and Cathy. Comics made me feel seen, and helped me make sense of the big, confusing, maddening world. They still do.

For as long as I’ve been reading comics, I’ve been making them in all formats. Single-panel, multipanel, hand-drawn, and digital. It’s all play. Check out a selection below, and follow along on Instagram.
