Hi everyone!
It’s been a while since my last update and dodging Covid plus Family Issues plus a MUCH NEEDED vacation have been keeping me CRAZY. I hope you all have been staying safe and being well in spite of the world being a mess right now.
So there’s a big ol’ update here that, for once, isn’t school related. Go fig!
The most important update is the portfolio! I’ve finally added the covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #48 and #50 to it. A special note on Sonic #50, I’ve also taken the time to include the full colorless inks AND the full inks to the interior part of the cover as well. I’m particularly proud of this one since it was so freaking complicated so I hope you have a chance to appreciate all the work that went into it!
Next, I’ve FINALLY **FINALLY** updated the sidebar with my most recent works for both IDW Sonic and Fantagraphics’ Disney Masters series. Particularly with three books not part of the Masters collection — “For Whom the Doorbell Tolls”, “Bear Mountain Tales”, and “The Disney Afternoon Collection: Vol.1”. The first is a collection of of loose comic adaptations of Ernest Hemingway tales featuring Disney characters, the second is a collection of all the Bear Mountain related Uncle Scrooge stories across a gigantic number of decades, and the last is a collection of Disney Afternoon/Disney Adventures comics of which I did the official translation for “A Goofy Movie”. I’ve got localization work in all three books! Hope you enjoy it!
LASTLY
I’m thinking of updating Chip and Walter and Time Trouble again. I’ve built up a pretty decent buffer but haven’t found the time to really do so. Real life writes the plot. Hahaha! All I need to do is color the pages and I’m wondering if its worth it to do flats so I can go faster? We’ll see how it turns out. I’ll let you know here what I decide to do but I thought it worth mentioning.
AND THAT’S THAT. Hope the remainder of the year treats you all well and I’ll update this when I have more to say! Take care of yourself

Massive Update: Principles of Cartooning I (Fall 2021): Syllabus + Portfolio & Solicits
Hello to all my new students and to everyone else who happens to see this update!
It’s been a LONG pandemic and with everything and anything that’s happened since our last update, I’ve admittedly let my website fall a bit behind. Time to rectify that!
First of all, to my new students, welcome! I hope you’re enjoying your first days of school!
As we discussed in class–you can find your new, updated full-color class syllabus (as a PDF) as well as a proper breakdown of my office hours to the left sidebar. Alternately, you can also download the PDF here just in case.
We should be able to discuss everything that we’ll need in both Canvas and our weekly Zoom meetings. If you have any questions, please check the discussion module created on our Course homepage, ask me in class, or email me directly! Let’s make some great comics!
As for everyone else — there’s been some key updates to the portfolio portion of my page. I’ve added the bald covers for Sonic 31 and 37, as well as the raw inks for 37 as well! Enjoy!
Also, the sidebar solicits have been updated entirely. As IDW no longer has the rights to standard Disney comics, that section has been completely removed. In its place I’ve updated all the Fantagraphics Disney Masters with all the four most recent books that I’ve localized and translated to date. I’ve also updated all the IDW Sonic solicits up to 37. A new one is coming, but I can’t post it for a while.
As far as webcomics go — Chip and Walter and Time Trouble will remain on pause probably until the month is up. By then I should have my deadlines done and completed. Then I’m going to start working on it again as well. Updates wont resume for a while but if I can get the backlog that I have in placed colored they’ll most likely resume before years end. And that’s that!
Take care! I hope you all have been well while we each personally deal with what’s happened in our lives lately. I hope my little corner of the internet brings you some joy.
Take care!
Portfolio! (And Other Updates)
It’s been a long time since my last website update but I’ve finally got my new portfolio up and ready on my website as promised! You can either click the hyperlink or access it via the main menu across the top.
It took me forever to build this but the ultimate goal was to move all of my most important artwork from Behance and DeviantArt to a more professional, personal area where I can keep better control of it. Right now only the pictures (with credit descriptions) are up. Within a few more weeks I’ll gradually add more detailed descriptors.
The other nice thing about this is that all of my current work from IDW Sonic is here (plus a few other things that weren’t available on the previously mentioned unlinked sites). Not everything will migrate over because I want this to be a professional sampling of my best works.
For those that may have popped in here from time to time, you’ll also notice that the right sidebar has been updated with my latest works from Disney Comics/Fantagraphics and IDW Publishing. I’ve been updating it here and there for anyone who finds their way to my page. This includes having updated my Published Works page to include more info on IDW Sonic.
Please enjoy and I’ll note here when other updates are made. I’ll most likely try to update “Chip and Walter” and “Time Trouble” again once things settle down. Take care and thanks for visiting!
