I’m a cartoonist living in Portland Oregon. I recently finished a graphic novel called The Chairs’ Hiatus which you can read for free.

Come back when you can and I’ll try and make it worth it.

Ask me anything.

    A few days before the start of my freshman year at college, my mom wrote my last name inside 75% of my personal effects. I got the impression that she thought once I got to school, my hand towel, underwear, T-shirts, jeans, and pillowcases, would be so coveted by the other freshmen that they would become prominent targets for dorm room theft. Therefor I would be constantly having to prove to my RA that they were in fact mine. Last year, about ten years after graduating from college, I moved into a house that had been previously occupied by several old friends from school. I found this towel hanging in the bathroom with my moms handwriting on it. It’s kind of like The Incredible Journey but with towels. View high resolution
