Gimme Action Updates

11/25/09:

New Animation Online Now:

Hunx & His Punx "Good Kisser" video An animated music video for gay power pop sensation Hunx & his Punx. Claymation, live-action, hand drawing, Flash, After Effects - it's all in thurr.

Dunce Dunce Revolution From the vault: A utopian epic depicting a day in the not-so-distant future when the dunces of the world rise up against the tyranny of their brainiac oppressors. Hand drawn, colored in Photoshop.

•The editors of Gimme Something Better plied me with margaritas & asked me about ancient east bay punk lore. Aside from my sloshy 2 cents, there are worthwhile and informative interviews with tons of east bay fogeys past and present.

•Some of my illustrations appear in the Phantom Surfers' how-to guide for losers: Rock Stardom For Dumbshits published by Rudos and Rubes Press. The book is like a peephole into an alternate universe where Mike Lucas writes for Cracked magazine. Mandatory toilet-side reading.

•I am now on Twitter. If you're into that sort of thing, follow me here.

This site has been looking raggedy for far too long. Please bear with me while I gradually give it the makeover it desperately needs.The new and improved site should be up and running by March 2010.

Tales Of Blarg # 9 is currently out-of-stock. There may be copies available through Sparkplug Comics or Last Gasp Publishing.

•Some recent(ish) work can be found in the following locations:

Julia Wertz's Missed Connection comics anthology: "I Saw You". Published by Random House and available at your local comic book store.

KRK Ryden-curated group exhibition "The Panelists". My painting was pulled out of a nether region orifice, but nevertheless I'm proud to be on display alongside such heroes as Mark Motherbaugh, Niagara, Mats?!, KRK, & others.

An interview conducted by Seth Bogart and Layla Gibbons in the "Print Media is Dead?" issue of Maximum Rock n Roll #311. My first MRR interview since about 1995.

A variety of short animation can be found here. More available upon request.

An animated video with Hunx and his Punx (premiering in August 09)
