United States
I'm a classically trained artist working in the Boston area. I spent 4 years at Simmons College earning my undergrad degree in Art and Philosophy. I love telling stories in sequential form; It's my life's work. I won a PRISM Grant in 2010 for my debut novel: "Duck!" about a couple of lesbian friends that take a road trip to save their little brother from jail.

It's a little bit "On The Road" meets "The L Word" and you can order it on my site (please do!)

I also have an autobio comic about "That Time I Turned 30 in Greece" (best title ever?) and freshly out: "26.2" -a spectators take on the Boston Marathon. Experience this historic race first hand with delicate brush strokes and more historical information than you can shake a stick at.
Interests

116th Boston Marathon!

:iconjt-ford:

In honor of this year's BOSTON Marathon I am making all 32 pages of my book "26.2" available to entertain and inform you lovely folks. Learn something about the oldest marathon in the United States! You can find the whole thing under "26.2" in the Folders Section of my Gallery.

And run well this Monday, all you racers out there!

(NOTE: This will be a quiet year for the Americans as all our elites, men and women are in training for the Olympics. Still, there'll be some fan faves like Tedy Bruschi formerly of the N.E. Patriots running alongside his wife. *Squeal* so adorbs!)

Have a wonderful Patriot's Day Weekend, DA-ers!

In case you didn't guess, this is the guy from Severed Head Comics. Big, loud and generally obnoxious. You remember! I sent you an email regarding the book and such. I hope that my hatred of the "the Closer" doesn't we cant collaborate in the future!
