what i have been doing...

i drink a lot of coffee, and sketch a lot of pictures... and i enjoy drawing comics... i am currently working on several projects, including a graphic novel, and i am getting back into freelance artwork. i started a company called necrollusions. i have done a lot of freelance work and published quite a bit through and with the necrollusions studios.
i had a comic strip called "the lavenders" about skeletons who are creatively focused around a coffeeshop, and i published this strip for three years... i do not believe i have any of this to show outside the publications archives... and i doubt much of that exists anymore... the publication is now defunct. following this strip, for six months before the publications demise, i ran another strip called "squid ink." i have all of the artwork from this strip, which continues beyond its actual published life... i have considered republishing this, it is some of my favorite... and i also have another comic strip about aliens & coffee... (one of these i designed for my girlfriend renny, a white sox fan!! and i placed in my photo gallery slideshow.) this strip has been published in my own magazine "coffee sketches," which is at the moment idle, and actually never ran very long. my actual work with comic strips has been put onto a back burner for the time being, with a stronger focus on comic books, and graphic novels.
i have been going to wizardworld chicago for the past three years which is the second largest comic convention in the country, and have been an exhibitor... i have no plans to continue going to comic conventions until after some of my new work gets published... i want to go with comics that i have done, in hand... and ready to show!
i began taking college summer classes at heartland community college in 1999. i have taken several summer classes, and over the past couple years, finished another summer class, and my first two semesters of college. i do not have my degree, yet...
i play world of warcraft, and was sucked into this life for nearly a year and a half, where i pretty much gave up on drawing... and now have stopped playing this game which has kept me from anything creative..
now it is time for me to begin drawing and sketching again..!
