February 26th, 2019 Confession: comic books saved my life. Not in a hyperbolic, overly dramatic way, mind you. It’s just whenever I’ve felt lost and lacking direction, I have always been able to find what I need in the pages of a comic. Like any other human on this planet, I’ve been through stuff. AndContinue reading “Comic Books Saved My Life”

Love Thy Neighbor
February 18th, 2019 I post this because I am seeing a lot of hatred on the internet today, in all of its forms, and I think we need a moment — all of us — to reflect. Something that I have had a really hard time dealing with lately is seeing posts from devout ChristianContinue reading “Love Thy Neighbor”
We Are Better People, Despite Claims To The Contrary
February 13th, 2019 No matter how much you progress in life, there will always be people there to remind you of the times you were a piece of crap. This is okay. Unfortunately, this is how the human brain works for some reason. I’ve had a few days like that this week, but instead ofContinue reading “We Are Better People, Despite Claims To The Contrary”
Jimmy Kimmel Saved My Life
February 8th, 2019 I’ve been on-record as someone who is agnostic and wary of organized religion, but who is deeply spiritual regardless. It’s a weird juxtaposition, a multiversal worldview, but it works for me. I preface this story with that statement because I do believe in gifts from gods and messages from the universe. IContinue reading “Jimmy Kimmel Saved My Life”
Safe Place
January 15th, 2019 Every time that you call someone a snowflake or an entitled millenial, or complain about people getting too easily offended and not being tough enough, the people in your life who are going through things see that, and you take yourself off the table as a kind and open person they canContinue reading “Safe Place”
Introduction 2019
January 15th, 2019 Hi. This is about me. I’m the guy in this photo. Not the Joker. The guy behind him working on a dream. I was born in the 80’s and am a lifelong comics and pop culture fan. I’ve expressed myself artistically in a lot of different ways over the years — IContinue reading “Introduction 2019”
One Year
December 9th, 2018 One year. This is going to sound stupid, but at first I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to feel again. When I finally started living in my own body full-time again, getting to know rooms and hallways I’d always seen but mostly avoided, I felt a numbness, a void. LikeContinue reading “One Year”
Find Your Shovel
November 29th, 2018 Believe in yourself. When I arrived at work this morning, all the hubbub and hullabaloo was about the missing shovel. No one could find it. I offered my help. “EVERYONE already tried looking for it.” “Don’t even bother. We all looked. You’ll never find it.” “I thought I could find it, too.Continue reading “Find Your Shovel”
Stan Lee
November 12th, 2018 With great power comes great responsibility. I’m feeling a lot of feelings right now. Some of them okay, some of them fine and some of them the downright worst. It may sound absurd and naive, but I came to the internet to find solace. To find intimate words and feelings and thoughtsContinue reading “Stan Lee”
Imposter Syndrome & The Flying Squirrel
October 12th, 2018 In an attempt to help people get inside my characters’ heads, I’ll try to find simplified examples from the internet and use them to begin a discussion and illustrate certain behaviors or traits. Ashley Maypole has a lot going on — we’ll talk more about the other stuff later on — butContinue reading “Imposter Syndrome & The Flying Squirrel”
