I am a student of Architecture and lifelong lover of comics.
I've been making comics off and on since I was about 8 years old. Joe Mad taught me the ropes of comic illustration (through my intense study of his work on Uncanny X-Men), but it was Chris Bachalo who influenced me the most. I am also heavily influenced by the black and white indies, such as Scud: The Disposable Assassin and TMNT.
I ran a webcomic back in 1999/2000, but not a whole lot of people came to my site, and it imploded rather quickly.
