May 7th, 2025 Howdy, y’all. I have an art gallery this weekend at Mind’s Eye Comics in the Burnsville Center that you should totally check out; you should also check out this video where I talk about confidence (and the lack of it), perspective as we grow, and how my gallery is a fight againstContinue reading “Confidence & Perspective”

This Is 40
May 1st, 2025 It’s my birthday today. I love my birthday. I’m awful like that. I also believe that you should cherish celebrating each one, because there will come a point in time when you cannot. That’s dark, but it’s my birthday. So let’s face facts: I’m supposed to be dead. I did all theContinue reading “This Is 40”
We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment
April 19th, 2025 My book Theia is a proud part of a long lineage of literature that uses animals to speak truth about ourselves. Two of its biggest influences are two of my favorite books: Watership Down and Animal Farm. Due to the current state of our nation, I recently bought myself a new copyContinue reading “We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment”
Brushfire Update & The Future Of My Art
April 11th, 2025 Just a little update for my Brushfire fans (I know you’re out there!) and anyone interested in Maple Island and the future of my visual art.
Summer Tour 2025
April 8th, 2025 You would think that, after how busy and actually crazy this past year has been, I would crack open a book and an ice cold A & W root beer, lay out on my favorite beach towel in the hot sand, and take it real easy this summer. That’s probably what IContinue reading “Summer Tour 2025”
Guthrie Trip
April 5th, 2025 I am forever a theater nerd. When I went back to school last fall, my past in theater emboldened me to seek out similar groups for my educational stay. When I joined the Creative Arts & Writing Club (and subsequently became its president five minutes later), we started talking events, and aContinue reading “Guthrie Trip”
The Weirdos Art Show
March 12th, 2025 You can say a lot of things about Eric and I (and we’ve heard it all, knock it off!), but you can’t say we don’t try big things! When I was a kid, I promised myself that when I made my own comic, I would do it the “right way”: with paperContinue reading “The Weirdos Art Show”
Men With(out) Fear
March 5th, 2025 I am (clearly) a massive fan of Daredevil; this photo was taken on one of my best friend’s wedding day. (No, he did not allow me to stand before the congregation like this, a missed opportunity in my opinion.) The new season just started on Disney+ and it is not only fuckingContinue reading “Men With(out) Fear”
The New Romantics: Author Notes
March 4th, 2025 After over a year of it living its own beautiful life in an anthology collection, I am so excited to be able to share this short story with a whole new audience. Namely: you. First, a little history: last year, my friend Jeri put together an amazing team of writers to createContinue reading “The New Romantics: Author Notes”
The New Romantics
The New Romantics By Dennis Vogen We should have burned the internet down when we had the chance. This is the stupid thought that crosses my mind most frequently these days, but particularly now, as I run through a citrus-colored forest, chased by a nimble mob of people. I shouldn’t have been digging where IContinue reading “The New Romantics”
