Con Updates

here's a little picture update of what the past few weeks have been like. it was a 3 week blitzkreig of philly alternative comic con, followed by philly zine fest (no pictures from that), and spx
this was the philly comix jam table at spx this past weekend, i shared the spot with fellow philly comix jammers art baxter and ian harker. this unfortunatley was the only time i took my camera out during spx.  we all had a great time and i met a bunch of cool people for the first time and ones that i knew through the internet.  a main highlight for me was hanging out with matt furie at 4 am. 
this was at my first annual pacc (philly alternative comic con aka pat aulisio comic con) here is me with the man of the day charles burns
heres a nice sideways pic of the space 1026 table with mark price and mike gerkovich

The Kings Summit

2 page gag comic from my upcoming book inhabitants 


Jogger Encounters the King of Cubes

Excerpt from the current book i'm working on,  Inhabitants







Dirty Super Hero Comics



Music Comic

This comic is featured in the new issue of slam bang comics, released by Fanatic Press, the issue was entirely music themed, so my contribution was actually a comic i did a few years ago about quotidians band and how much they rock. 


Comics









Quotidian

This is Quotidian, this was my first attempt at a standard size comic narrative (24 pages + the last page being the back inside cover in color).  I made this the summer of 2006 so its almost 3 years old but i still like it. 
It's was initially conceived as a love story, somewhat based on real life, but then i just kinda went off with it. I also love silent comic (my obvious influence being jim woodring), i did one or two before but this was when i really put that story telling method to the test. The comic itself is out of print, i did an initial run of 75, then a second printing of 40, then i 're-released' it last year along with about 15 more pages of silent comics in an untitled book. but i just sold out of those too, although im sure another print will be out in time for convention season. so anyways here it is, in its entirety,  for the internet.
