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.

    Sorry everyone who is reading this on the dashboard. This is a repost. Never try to edit an embedded vimeo video post that you made on your laptop with the new tumblr iPhone app. It breaks the link to the video and it can not be repaired. Hence, this repost. —

    There was an air conditioning unit in my window as a kid and it’s the only real reason I never jumped out.

    My neighbors house was too far away for us to run a cable to and slide across Goonies style. The side of our house was made of aluminum siding too thick for me to nail planks into to build a ladder that would take me to the roof. It was a one story straight drop down to a fenced in gravel yard where my dog shit below, that just screamed of bloody palms and knees, the dreaded broken arm. The nearest tree had branches that reached out towards my window, like it wanted to help, but was too far away. 

    Regardless, my imagination kept ending all kinds of scenarios dreamt up in bed, hours after bedtime, with proposals of escape out the window.
