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.

    The Chairs’ Hiatus is now available on the Amazon Kindle.

From the moment that I knew I was going to be drawing a graphic novel I knew that I wanted it to be available on multiple different platforms. However, I’m a big proponent of the idea that the presentation of the work is part of the piece itself. So, while many comics are designed for print and then modified to work elsewhere, I wanted to create something from the ground up with the particulars and possibilities of the web, print, iPhone, iPad, and e-readers in mind.

That’s why I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve added a Kindle version of the chairs hiatus to the already existing web, print, Google+, PDF and CBZ versions.

Specifically designed and tested on Amazons line of existing Kindle readers, (as of writing this the Kindle Fire is not yet available) this new version of the story allowed me to use a couple of storytelling techniques that I didn’t feel like were appropriate on other platforms such as the web or print. (I’m particularly happy with the moment to moment transitions during the YouTube video section, and the changes that have been made to the scene transitions.)

Take a look!
