About Me |
|
| I've returned to New York at least for the summer, perhaps for much longer. I know I'm home when I get stuck on the Belt for 1.5 hours at 3 pm. WTF? Yep. I just got pizza from my favorite place and it's all chewy. Ech. I'm complaining about all the things I love. I must be back in New York. Time for a shower. It would be swell to one day get published (though I don't mind self-publishing) and write short works of fiction, maybe some kids books, comic books and other fine works. Read my textual and photographic Travel blog hereI am part of the Armzrace, a collective of cartoonists and demi-gods, where I contribe cartoons and pop culture reviews on the Armzrace blog which has new content weekly. Don't forget to order ten copies of The Squirrel issue number 1! I am co-editor of this book and let me tell you, it is funny. Not just funny, but really eFFing funny. From the plot to the dialogue, down to little drawn in details on candy wrappers and other good things like that. Check it now Order now! |
