When I was a kid I loved the classic monster stories like those about Frankenstein and Dracula, or the mythological stories about Egyptian, Greek, and Roman monsters like the Minotaur and the Kraken. I also loved the stories about modern mythological monsters like those in Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”, C.S. Lewis’ Narnia creatures, the Teen Titan’s Cyborg (Wolfman and Perez’s take on Frankenstein) or Raven (based on a daughter of the devil archetype). Frank Miller’s Elektra held a special place in my heart because she was a woman who chose to become a monster.

I write stories and compose music about these things because they provide a really flexible format to talk about difficult topics in a fun way.

I got interested in music and comics in high school, I’ve done work circling both topics for years including teaching at music and art schools. I’ve written, played, and recorded music for stage and screen. I’ve designed, drawn, photographed, and video recorded images, ads, and stories for a ton of clients.

Though I’ve been threatening to do it for years, in 2018 I got serious about making original content of my own beginning with the publication of Man Grooves.

I can’t wait to show you what’s coming up next, but I also can’t wait to hear/see/experience what you are doing! I hope you find your legs and make your art earlier in life than I did!
