I'm best known for inking other artists'
pencils for comic books, but I've also done the full art on a
wide variety of comics and other projects. To make it easier
for you to find what you're looking for, I've separated the full
art section and the inking section, Please click on the links
below to see some of the work I've been up to.

Biography
Born in 1969,
to the dismay of many. After abandoning such worthless
pursuits as
becoming the President or an accountant, at age 10 I
decided to draw comics. Soon after, I met "Buck Rogers" artist,
Rick Yager. Seeing that there were real cartoonists out
there, my
parents began to worry.
After many years of publishing fanzines,
and while still attending Loyola University Chicago, I sold
my first professional work and was soon working for Marvel,
DC, and other major comic book publishers on such characters
as Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, The
X-Men, Scooby Doo, Sonic
the Hedgehog, The Simpsons, Betty & Veronica, Godzilla, Star
Wars, G.I. Joe, and many more. Starting in 1995 I also wrote and drew my own comic book feature, The
Adventures of Simone & Ajax.
In 2000, I was asked to redesign the
Little Orphan Annie newspaper strip, which I drew for the next
year. Currently working on various comic books (see the news
section), including writing and drawing a revival of Katy
Keene for Archie Comics, and developing new ideas for comic books
and comic strips.
Influences: Roy Crane, Dan DeCarlo,
Russell Keaton, Bob Lubbers, Matt Baker, Alex Raymond, Charles
Schulz,
Mark Schultz, Steve Ditko, Enoch Bolles, George Herriman,
Henk Kuijpers, Francois Walthery, Wally Wood, Bob Oksner, Don
Flowers,
and so many more.
Other interests: New Wave and punk
music, old radio and TV shows and movies, pulps, and hoping
to go
outside. Currently living in a condo with a
turret on the north side of Chicago with my wife (and assistant),
Chris Atkinson,
and our two odd cats.
