“Mike the Art Teacher” (March 2009)

Heh heh. I originally started this back when I was still in college. It was during that time when my interest in fine art developed. Shortly after the beginning of my first art history class in freshman year I became hooked. I ended up taking six or seven more art history classes before I graduated, all while I earned my degree in graphic design. I could’ve minored in it, except I didn’t see the point. [...]

“Growth” (August 2008)

Just as with the case with “Brute Mike,” I felt a growing anxiousness about not having done a comic in over two years. I think part of the problem was not having the right kind of story to do. That isn’t to say I didn’t have many fairly worked-out ideas in my head, but none of them really felt right to do at the time. When I started writing down the thoughts and feelings that [...]

The Midnight Sun #6

This particularly weird and overly obtuse issue offers not one or two, but three stories of surreal madness to help spirit you away into slumberland. Whatever happens after that, Nick is not morally or legally responsible for. Enjoy! 32 pages, black and white. For mature readers. “Only in Dreams: The Tree” Nick recalls a particularly haunting dream in which he bites off a little more than he can chew and ends up failing at a [...]

New Events Calendar

I’ve replaced the old events listing page I had with an all-new Events Calendar. You can see upcoming events for the entire year in a nice calendar-style format. On the sidebar to the right you can easily see upcoming stuff at a glance. When you click on an event, you can see all the basic info as well as a handy Google map. It looks a little sparse now, but I’m still in the process [...]

The Midnight Sun #5

“Revenge of the Comic” In a story written by none other than Michael Browne, Mike explores the roots of his failure not only in an English class (twice), but in school, writing, maintaining friendships, and being a human being. Of course, only so much blame can be attributed to Mike, so he piles the rest on Nick for trying to help him out. He deserves it! “Re: Revenge of the Comic” If Mike’s tale has [...]

The Midnight Sun #4

“Mike the Art Teacher” Mike serves as guide to a class of young and idealistic art students, introducing them not only to the vapid pretension in modern art, but the methods one may employ in convincing others that they’re totally awesome and hardcore. Also, vaporizing strippers. Unfortunately, that’s not a typo. 28 pages, black and white. For mature readers.

The Midnight Sun #3

“Growth” How do we define ourselves? Is is through our actions and accomplishments? Or is it through extremely minor physical attributes? Nick confirms that it’s the latter in this long-winded but compelling rumination on his facial hair and how it shaped his personality, both in presence and absence. With a story fixated on something so inconsequential, it has to be good, right? Right? 28 pages, black and white. For mature readers.

The Infusion Project Art Show @ Stingaree – Friday, April 13

I’ll be taking part in an art show at Stingaree in downtown San Diego. On Friday the 13th! And much like that movie(s), it will feature an insane, disfigured crusader (me) in a darkened setting surrounded by horny kids just asking for it! But replace “killing” with “selling art,” and this disturbing metaphor will come full circle back to its original point. The event will be from 9:00 pm to 2:00 am. Let me know [...]
