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.

    I just put a hand silk screened t-shirt about casette tapes and nature up on my store. Dark brown, teal, on canary.

    This design is partly inspired by a memory I have from high school. A friend of mine had allowed me to tape a copy of an album that he swore up and down was fantastic but I’d never been able to really get into while listening to it in his car.

    Late one night I put on my coat and walked out to an overgrown socker field behind my house. It was night and from the middle of the field you could see stars in all directions. I laid down on my back and put the earphones in.

    I remember that it was windy and the grass was so tall you couldn’t have seen me from the road. I listend to the album from beginning to end looking up at the sky, only breaking to flip the tape over.

    I swear it’s one of the best albums I know of.

    I’ve only got 3 shirts available (for the near future) so if you’d like one I’d act fast.
