Flip: I Wish I Was Special
October 8th, 2023 Flip is, ultimately, about a sad, lonely boy. Liam is the opposite of my ego. He’s also the lyrics of a Radiohead song: kind of a creep, and kind of a weirdo. I’ve never had to personally differentiate myself from a character so much; I think it’s because Flip (and its sequels)Continue reading “Flip: I Wish I Was Special”
Theia: Heroes
September 22nd, 2023 There are certain parameters that people find themselves more comfortable sharing within, and I fit into many of those boxes. As a bartender, people are surprisingly open with me; as a person who is public about their sobriety and struggles with addiction, people are surprisingly open with me; as a writer, ohContinue reading “Theia: Heroes”
Theia: Bittersweet Symphony
September 10th, 2023 I cried a lot for Theia. Like, an obnoxious amount. I always tell people that if you want someone to feel something in your art, you should feel that way while you’re making it. And I do. Arguably, too much. Look, if you don’t want to feel sad today, I recommend maybeContinue reading “Theia: Bittersweet Symphony”
The Weirdos, Part VII: The Universe is Bigger Than God
August 30th, 2023 I didn’t finish college (obvs) and I don’t believe in God (sorry, fam), and The Weirdos is what it is because of it. I quit college three quarters in. I frequently tell people that making this graphic novel was my education; most art students have to do a final project, and it’sContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part VII: The Universe is Bigger Than God”
The Weirdos, Part VI: Black & White Issues, Blacklisting, and a Technicolor Graphic Novel
August 29th, 2023 The Weirdos is about being a part of something that gives you meaning, something that could save your life. Once I was solidly standing on sober feet, I wanted to be a member of the artistic community as soon as I possibly could. It’s the reason I decided to produce The WeirdosContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part VI: Black & White Issues, Blacklisting, and a Technicolor Graphic Novel”
The Weirdos, Part IV: The Blue-Ringer
August 24th, 2023 George Michael sang, “I gotta have faith,” and, God, does the Blue-Ringer ever. Moe Crawford is the odd duck in a group full of strange fowl. He’s upbeat, infectiously positive, even in the face of the worst news; his unshakable belief in God keeps him going; he generally has his shit togetherContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part IV: The Blue-Ringer”
FIGHT!
August 21st, 2023 I look like an idiot. I haven’t been on my usual bullshit lately, writing about my messy emotions or mental health, or about politics or the climate or philosophy or grief or sobriety. It’s not that I don’t think about these things anymore; they’re all I think about, the things that keepContinue reading “FIGHT!”
The Weirdos, Part III: Art So Terrible It Almost Looks Human
August 15th, 2022 Do you ever wake up and wonder what’s real? When I was a kid, I always dreamed of having my own comic book; as an adult, when I began creating it, I was determined to “do it the right way.” Paper. Pencils. Ink. Lots of coffee. Of course, there is no rightContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part III: Art So Terrible It Almost Looks Human”
The Weirdos, Part II: The Sketch
August 11th, 2023 I love Abigail “Axis” Coire — aka The Sketch, though she’s never referred to by that name in Volume I — so much, for so many reasons, but one of the strongest is her complexity. The irony of this is not lost on me, because she began as a single question: “Wouldn’tContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part II: The Sketch”
