The Haunted House ​(December 2016).

Below are some photos and a video of an art project I made, as featured in WSU
Tri-Cities' Undergraduate Research Symposium and Art Exhibition, held this past December. The piece was done as a final project for a class, in which we were taught to use the Processing and Arduino languages, as well as the Arduino Uno microprocessor.

​On the Death of a Ladies' Man: a Farewell to Leonard Cohen​ (December 2016).

Below is a tribute to Leonard Cohen, who died in early November. The piece was designed to be read as a triptych, with the second page being the main event and the first and third pages flanking it on the left and right, respectively.
This was an interesting piece to make, and I left the digital version as unedited as possible; everything was done by-hand before scanning. Anything that appears to be a photo (CD, mp3 player) was scanned, printed, and pasted onto the board. Cigarette tobacco and paper was cut and pasted as well. 
This work, along with The Haunted House, was displayed as part of WSU
Tri-Cities' Undergraduate Research Symposium and Art Exhibition, held this month.

​Public Service Announcement project (September 2016).

A Public Service Announcement, done as a project for my Communications class at Washington State University. The goal of this PSA was to advertise SALT's resources: http://salt.wsu.edu/

​Nancy & Sluggo in "The Fundraiser" ​(April 2016).

This was another project for a class at WSU. All images were scanned and altered to suit the work at hand; original images © 2012 Universal Press Syndicate, and were taken from the book "Nancy is Happy," (dailies 1943-1945), published by Fantagraphics Books. 

Music is from "Silly Symphonies: The Skeleton Dance," drawn by Ub Iwerks,

​Miscellaneous Cartoons (February 2015).

Another cartoon for Cape Cod Bay Watch (November 2014).

Entergy is the vast utility which operates Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, MA. Pilgrim's design is the exact same as the infamous Fukushima plant, and being near open water, it's vulnerable to many of the same hazards. This cartoon is poking fun at a plan that Entergy thought up, to pump water to their spent fuel rods in the event of a system failure. It's silly because the plan likely wouldn't work in stormy weather, which is also the time when there might be some sort of failure (the two sort of go hand-in-hand). This flyer was passed out at a community meeting on the same subject in Plymouth.

Not the Bees! (October 2014.)

This is based on a true story. (And apparently, I'm NOT allergic to bees. Which is a good thing, because the folks in the Emergency Room told me that the yellow jackets here in Washington are especially potent.)

Also, apparently, I have no idea how to spell Sacagawea.

The Nostalgic GPS (September 2014.)

Protect My Public Media Illustration. (August 2014.)

Some time ago I entered a tote-bag illustration contest. The theme we were supposed to get across was, as you may have guessed, protecting public media (NPR, PBS, etc.). My design didn't win, which means I can share it now! I colored it for the contest but prefer the B&W version, so I'm including them both here.

Cartoons for Cape Cod Bay Watch. (July 2014.)

I recently did some cartoons for Cape Cod Bay Watch, a non-profit organization based in Plymouth, MA. They do some great work, protecting the environment of southeastern Massachusetts and particularly Cape Cod Bay. My cartoons were addressing a recent scheme by Entergy, owner of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. You can see one of the cartoons on their website here.

Illustration for Kearsarge Magazine. (June 2014.)

I did a full-page drawing for Kearsarge Magazine's summer issue. They have exclusive rights to use it right now, but you can see it on their very own site, here!

Snake Rapunzel Now Available to Purchase! (May 2014.)

I've been hard at work for months now on a small storybook for kids, Snake Rapunzel. It's 62 pages of copy with 27 pen-and-ink drawings interspersed throughout--I've leaked two of them here, along with the cover.

If you'd like to have this book for your very own, you can buy it right here on Amazon. It's $7.95, and makes the perfect gift for your favorite discerning child. I would recommend it for ages 10-14.

First 7 Pages of Phoenix: the Ford Pinto Story AVAILABLE HERE (May 2014).

I just went to the Bookbuilders of Boston 57th Annual Book Show, which was a lot of fun. Phoenix didn't win any category awards, but it was on display among a few other small-press books. It's also in this year's catalogue, which is beautifully done.

Last November, Robert Clough of The Comics Journal was kind enough to review Phoenix on his blog, High-Low Comics. Also reviewed in the same post were Josh Kramer, Emi Gennis, and Andy Warner. He'd declared the month of November as "Thirty Days of CCS," which was very generous of him.

If you'd like a copy of the book for your very own, Phoenix is available through several distribution sites. Here is the direct link to it on Amazon; try there first! Some other distributors include Barnes & Noble, NACSCORP, and Espresso Book Machine.

Harvard Medical Student Review (March 2014).

I just did a cartoon for the newly-unveiled Harvard Medical Student Review. It's a review journal written and curated by Harvard MD candidates, and they wanted some "outsiders" to generate New Yorker-esque cartoons for them. So, there you go.

I haven't posted much in the past few months. It's not that I haven't been doing any work--I've done LOTS, actually--but most of what I'm up to I can't post. I have contracts with most of my freelance work, and a common stipulation is that "they" have the exclusive right to show it around for a set amount of time.

Coffee Dime Bags (February 2014).

Many months ago I drew the above graphic for a friend of mine. His latest Internet venture is CoffeeDimeBags.com, which sells an ultra-concentrated, extra-jittery type of coffee to people who want that sort of thing. The website is up and running now, so I thought I'd spread the word!

Toby Gets a Lift wins 2ND Place!

A few months ago I drew and submitted a video as part of the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities's "Count Me In" contest. The video's purpose is to promote the idea of inclusion; i.e. helping disabled people to be included in community activities. I had a good time doing it, and the Council recently informed me that I'd placed in the contest. You can learn more about the NHDDC at http://www.nhddc.org/.
I must thank my old friend Abe Shklar, for it was he who let me know of the contest's existence. He was also good enough to let me use his music in the video. You can learn more about him here: http://abes.bandcamp.com/album/lilaham

New Hampshire Blues (November 2013).

Ayn Rand-isms (Late October 2013).

How Great Inventions Came to Be (October 2013).

Muffy the Railroader (June 2013).

Infinite Corpse Project (May 2013).

Aaron Renier (my CCS thesis advisor), R. Sikoryak, and some others put together an online collaborative comics project! It's a chain comic featuring about 250 cartoonists--and I got to be one of 'em! You can see my comic here, or just visit the main page. It's a lot of fun, and if you have a favorite cartoonist, he or she is probably a part of this!
