Buy My Books!!!

I've really only been selling my books via comic fests. It's really the best way. But... I need to reach out to you internet folk.

I've gone and done the simplest thing I could figure out and I put a bunch of them up on Etsy. Here's the link:

I appreciate every sale and I usually throw in some extra little bits. If you mention this blog I'll throw in a copy of INTRUDER with each sale!

Help Snake Bomb Comix and Buy My Art

Snake Bomb Comics is a great anthology that comes out of Portland. It has artists from all over featured in the previous two issues. The up-coming third issue will have a 6 page comic by ME! It's going to be some really twisted stuff, with some same sex Smutpets making a baby. Without Jack Hayden's encouragement to be a sick weird-o this wouldn't have happened. At least not for a while anyway.

I'm selling drawings of some of my sexy sketches in order to raise some money to get this thing printed. Sexy puppet headed women or I like to call them Smutpets (smut + puppet). There are new sexy Muppet costumes out there now, so I'm not the only fucked up person with this idea.

So go to the Snake Bomb Comix Big Cartel page and buy pencil sketch $10 or an ink drawing $20 to help us out.

Also if you don't like the drawings I've done there and want something special. Something personal... I'll do a commission for you for the same price. Send me a photo of you in your underwear (and/or naked) or a photo of someone naked and I'll convert that picture into a Smutpet drawing for you to hang on your wall and let the conversations explode!

Great for hanging in the bathroom.

Suspect Device #2

So I got the chance to be apart of an substantial comic book undertaking by New York cartoonist and teacher Josh Bayer. It's the second issue to his well known and highly enjoyed Suspect Device comic book.

Suspect Device #1 had cartoonists filling in the space between two random Nancy panels. This time, Nancy and Garfield are victims to this device!

I've submitted my piece and now it needs to be printed. Since there are between 80 and 100 pages of art it's Josh is going to need some financial help getting this printed and distributed adequately . That's why there's a nice and shiny Kickstarter set up for it. Please check out the video, take a look at the incentives you can get from throwing in a few bucks and help out.
