Comic Rant
Many people complain about having problems getting their kids to read BUT haven't tried giving them comics. All you have to do hand a kid a comic book and watch them go through them. Think of a comic book as a novel that has been illustrated and broken into monthly installments. Comics are an IDEAL alternative reading source. They just happen to bear a nasty lil' stigma of being a "Funny Book". Okay, end of rant. :-)

I've also have some really nice sketches and comic art pages that I've gathered through the years of going to conventions. Click here to view them

Comic Book Experience
Not only do I enjoy reading comics, but I also work in them. I've done mostly lettering and pre-production in such books as Cross Plains Comics' Red Sonja and H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu, LoneStar Press's Force 7 and Strange Heroes, Black Daze Publishing, and a few other's no longer around.

I've just finished lettering a comic name Skinners with Mat Broome (with a promise of more from him) and Image is publishing that one. I have a couple exciting projects coming up with Digital Broome, Mike Hoffman and Moonstone and as soon as I can, I'll be putting more up about them. If you're interested in my services, e-mail me.
