About
I am an illustrator and comic artist working out of the San Francisco Bay Area. My work has seen print in the East Bay Express, the Lavapunch comics anthology, and the Missed Connections and Bridge Project anthologies. On the web, my work has appeared on the frontpages of XIP, Retrocrush, Somethingawful, and creativeskin.
Right now, I am currently working as a storyboard artist at Cartoon Network Studios on "Regular Show" by JG Quintel. It's been a culture shock fer sure-- for one, I can't get over the fact that people are paying me cash monies to draw, and for two, it's impossible to get a decent banh mi in Burbank! I used to work in Silicon Valley as a web developer at National Semiconductor. I still remember a lot of HTML, CSS, Java, PHP, Perl, JSP and javascript, HONEST!!!

Calvin fucked up
Hey everybody, it has come to my attention that some orders for Ramble On! have slipped through the cracks and have not been fulfilled. Blame the UI clusterfuck that is yahoo mail, where I can't even tell the difference between a Zimbabwean Trying to Scam Me vs. Somebody Actually Trying to Give me Cash Monies. I have since changed my paypal inbox to my gmail account where I will be super alert and vigilant about orders because of the clean UI and excellent spam filter.
Electric Ant #2
Hey dudes, I will be at APE this weekend (BANG GANG table) with a zine called "COMIX QUEST"-- it's basically a collection of older comics with a common sci/fi fantasy bent.
DS-10 Ringo, Te Amo (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah) !
Recently I discovered this great Cher paean to the least understood Beatle via Hellen (from the 60s: Ringo, I Love You) and I decided to cover it on my DS-10. It's not the whole song (i ran out of memory for patterns) but it's most of it. The Kraftwerk-esque breaks were artistic license of course. There's a new version of the DS-10 coming out in September that doubles the amount of Analog Synths you can have and doubles the drum sounds. Only for the DSi unfortunately though :(
