Legends of Rock #01 - Ric Ocasek

Starting out with one of the most interesting looking people on earth (with the most improbable facial anatomy): Ric Ocasek. This man has put out a bazillion hits with The Cars and has produced albums for Suicide, Guided By Voices, Weezer, even my beloved Jonathan Richman. A perfect new-wave rocker and bubblegum popper, Ric Ocasek is a Legend of Rock. 

To get you started in the world of Ric, I've made an excellent mix of the choicest Cars.

ae album picks: The Cars (1978) & Shake It Up (1981)

Recently had several conversations with folks about the history and current state of the Bond franchise. I'm a pretty huge fan of the series as a whole, but could be a whole lot happier about the current choices being made about the (historically) suave and cunning spy in the suit.

Starting a new project that catalogues the main villain from each X Files episode: X-Villainy. Starting from season three since that’s what I’m on currently, but I’ll eventually get to them all.

Season 3 Episode 1, in which the Well-manicured Man is introduced, member of a secret society of powerfully shady men. Guy definitely has some pull, and his alliances come into question, but remains a pretty bad dude, working with the Smoking Man and all. 

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

Friend Mold

Friend Mold is a comic I wrote and illustrated about relationships, detailing what one must go through to become more than a friend to a member of the opposite sex. Digital release took place over the months of January and February with the last page arriving on February 14th. If you're interested in publishing Friend Mold drop me a line!

On Mustaches

During May, my friend and I entered into a collaborative competition of mustaches. We both vowed to grow a stache and it turned out to be a good time because neither of us really needed to be seen by anybody potentially important for about the whole month*. The first few days were easy because I don’t like shaving and only do so every three days. After a week, it got pretty hard. Anyone with sparse facial hair will know the embarrassment and overall badlooks of a thin beard. It wasn’t for a few weeks that I could shave and have my face noticeably be-stached. Once this happened the hardtimes got worse, because I looked very much like a guy who is up to no good - but I powered through, growing the heck out of this rough stuff. I ended Mustache May with a serious fumanchu. Since the end of the month, though, I’ve been unable to shave it completely off. I even went so far as to allow myself a small soul-patch and it concerns me. I took inspiration from a French zombie movie where my darkened, Parisian doppelgänger had a superlative handlebar with flavor-saver. We’ll see where my facial hair takes me. For now, have a look at the evolution.

* we can argue about how you can meet someone important at any time, but this really was a long shot considering what we were doing and where we were.

I had forgotten about my favorite pair of jeans, but I found them, in my pants drawer of all places. I will be wearing these a lot.

Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...
