Graphical Work

I spent years scribbling words & doodling nonsense, but it was not until the beginning of the 21st century that I started to think about these things together.
I co-created a serial comic that briefly ran the student newspaper during my first round at CMU. Later, during Round Two at the Big U, I worked on a story about my great granduncle who ran away from home in Massachusetts to fight for the Brits in World War I. As part of a course on graphic novels, "Stars Shooting 'Cross the Atlantic" saw eight pages drawn, lettered, and colored. The feedback received was positive.
Currently, I am searching for an artist to bring to life a comics script I wrote: A team of underfunded and dysfunctional analysts for the CIA suddenly becomes the most important asset in the country once the first post-human manifests; problem is, they've been lost in a Kafka-like maze of bureaucratic burdens. I have 32 pages written and am looking for a co-creator to help bring this thing into the world. Let me know if you're interested, have more questions, or might know someone who has the right stuff.
More recently, I completed a personal graphic design project. Writer Warren Ellis released a series of short essays on his website. I wanted to be able to write thoughts in the margins and make notes on ideas to explore, so I took the text and assembled it with some art by comics artist Brian Wood. Click the image to the left for some samples of a couple of the spreads or get the .pdf here. Please note that this was an exercise in design, not an attempt to pass of either man's work as my own. If the collected text ever gets published as a book, buy that. Likewise, find some comics work that features BW and buy that, too.
