Over the past two years, I’ve worked two different full-time jobs, dabbled in the field of freelance journalism and collected unemployment. In those same two years, I’ve lived in three different states, pulled a U-Haul from coast to coast, raised over $1,200 with a friend and a moustache to help fight men’s cancer and shook hands with Edward James Olmos. It’s been a crazy period of my life to say the least. Thankfully, I’ve been lucky enough to have had one amazing and gorgeous constant to carry me through it all: my beautiful girlfriend Jessi.

I often find that reading about comics and looking at comic art all day is a lot like watching the Food Network.

In fact, my spontaneous sketching often has my doodles looking remarkably similar (See here and then here).

Earlier today, my good buddy Caleb Goellner helped raise awareness about Movember by constructing a link roundup and list of great mustachioed comic book heroes over at ComicsAlliance.

Hey Folks!

After a long weekend of convention-going and freelance writing, I’m back from Baltimore Comic-Con. Yep, I was down in the Charm City this past weekend enjoying a good ol’-fashioned comic book convention and getting back to my journalistic roots with some straight up reporting and writing on a tight deadline. All in all, it was a pretty great weekend, but I’ll run through some highlights quickly for those who may be interested.
