I'm a professional illustrator and cartoonist most known for my self published comic, Beware of Doug that I co-write with my wife. The book is a horror comedy about werewolf trying to keep his life together in the real world. Beware of Doug is currently heading for its fourth issue.

I'm currently spearheading Saturday Heroes, a forum for aspiring cartoonists started by artist and illustrator Andrew Warner. Andy gave of his time and talents freely to create a place for artists at different skill levels and talents to meet and share their work with others. Over the years, Saturday Heroes has grown into a place where young and old artists alike draw, learn and grow.

My story featured in our first issue is Starlite. It’s a melting pot of sci-fi concepts paired with a working stiff mentality that I enjoy telling stories about. It’s a little bit classic Star Trek a little bit workplace comedy with just enough puns put in to make it work. This story centers on what happens when corporate “make it work” culture has access to time travel. What follows is a glimpse into the multiverse of possibilities that all seem oddly familiar. It seems like a lot to do for a candy bar.
