I grew up in a small town in Oregon where I enjoyed drawing from an early age. I began making comics in high school, continued in college, and now run this site. I try to stay away from politics and overly serious issues and just go for a laugh.

The Comic Process

On the left is the inking pen I use to finalize my comics. Comic ideas start out as sketches in small memo pads I carry around with me.

Once an idea is thought up, I try to sketch it down as soon as possible, or at least write it down so I won't forget about it.

When it comes time for me to ink a comic, I'll flip through some of my sketch pads and choose several comics. I then redraw the ideas in pencil on a large peice of inkable paper. Then using a metal tipped pen, and bottle of ink, I trace my pencil lines. Once dry, the lines are erased and the comic is ready to be scanned.

I use photoshop to clean up my scan and add captions.
