Purple Rain
April 21st, 2020 Four years ago, something sad happened. Something crazy happened. Something amazing happened. Four years ago, Prince passed away. I miss that dude. Especially as I remember today. His fearless and peerless innovation. His boundless talent. His pancake-making skills (which I never had the pleasure of eating but I have HEARD, man). FourContinue reading “Purple Rain”
Thank You.
March 17th, 2020 Weird world. I was waiting until I could write something thoughtful and meaningful about everything that has happened over the last few days, and then I realized that waiting for anything is stupid, so here we are.

I Heart Tomicon
February 29th, 2020 Tomicon, the convention I attended today alongside some of my favorite people, was low-key one of the best conventions I’ve been a part of.

In fact: it deeply informs my work today. Here is my pitch for The Weirdos: this isContinue reading “Open Line”
Fall, With You I Fall So Fast
September 27th, 2019 My brain is probably backwards, but I’ve always felt like fall is a beginning. I think most people assign spring as the season of something new. But for me, the heat death of summer has always signified endings. The end of friendships. The end of romances. The end of freedom. Because whereContinue reading “Fall, With You I Fall So Fast”
Reintroduction
September 6th, 2019 Some people need no introduction. Some people beg to be reintroduced. So whether you’ve never even heard of me or you feel like you know me intimately, this is my #fridayintroductions — and maybe we’ll all learn something new today. My name is Dennis. I’m the guy in this photo. Not theContinue reading “Reintroduction”
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”
