Efficiency, accuracy, and speed, all at once.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist — but that wouldn't really matter if I couldn't work quickly enough to meet your tight deadlines. So it's a pretty good thing that I know Illustrator and Photoshop inside-out: I tap away with the keyboard shortcuts like I'm playing a piano, and my artistic background helps me make the cleanest, most accurate die lines and masks you've ever seen.

All work and no play? No way.

My life doesn't begin and end with the day job. In addition to my career in the world of printing and advertising, I have written articles, film and book reviews, and interviews for a variety of web and print publications, including Gapers Block; Bookslut; PISTIL Magazine, a “Best New Title” nominee in 2005’s Utne Independent Press Awards; and Comic Book Galaxy. (You can find these in the Writing section.)

Not content to simply write about books, movies and comics, I also wrote and illustrated (with a little help, on occasion) the book-centric non-fiction comic strip Stripped Books, from October, 2004, to April, 2006, originally for Bookslut and then later its own site. Since July, 2005, I have written and illustrated Multiplex, a weekly humor comic strip about the staff of a movie theater. I have also contributed comics features to PISTIL Magazine and Barrelhouse.

In early 2007, I began co-hosting The Triple Feature, a weekly, live talkcast about movies, with two other movie-loving cartoonists. And if all that wasn't enough, I like to take photos, too.
