This is the most pirated image of Spider-Man in existence. I am its artist.

A place to study math at, matter of fact, I learned it all, burnt it all. This (blog) is where I bury the ashes at  – Jay-Z, “No Hook” 2007 I am a failed comic book artist. Let me back up; from around age 12 to about age 28 I wanted to draw comic books. Comics were all I cared about, they were all I thought about. I wrote and drew my own comics since I was in middle school. I went to college to study art. I met other people who were also aspiring pros who are still my friends today. I went to comics conventions with my portfolio. I did a try out for DC in 1993. I self-published my own comics in 96-97. I also lost a whole lot of money! This time was before digital short run printing, so I had to print a minimum of 1000 copies at about $1 per copy. I had to give Diamond Distributors ½ of the cover price, plus other costs = I was barely making enough to support doing my own comics. The comic book business in the late 90s and early 2000s was utter garbage. After the speculator boom of ...

Generation X Is Getting Old…

"Well You Say I'm Twenty Something And Should Be Slacking But I'm Working Harder Than Ever And You Could Call It Macking" Sure Shot – The Beastie Boys That lyric meant a lot to me way back in the late '90's when that Beastie Boys album came out. I remember hearing it and thinking; "Yeah, I work hard as hell!" I was 26. I just graduated college, I got married, and I was working full-time at kinko's while I self-published my comic books. Everyone I knew was getting married, working hard full-time jobs, finishing college and/or going to grad school, having kids and turning into responsible adults; all while pursuing their own dreams… one of my buddies is a filmmaker, one performs in a punk band, another was a store manager by the time he turned 25. I never knew a lot of "slackers" and I found the term insulting. My generation (Generation X) were very mislabeled as a bunch of do-nothings; when in fact the opposite was true; we...

Jefferson “Jeffy” Tinydog 2014-2024

Jefferson “Jeffy” Tinydog 2014-2024 In the Spring of 2010 Estelle and I moved from the house we rented to The Waldo , an upscale renovated apartment building in Downtown Cincinnati. Due to the recession and changing climate of downtown at the time, we were able to get a great rent price and live in the heart of the city. I was working at LPK Design up the street, so I was living literally 2 blocks from my job. Down the street from us was Washington Park, also recently renovated. The park had a dog area, and I told Estelle now that we lived in a spacious apartment near an awesome park, we should get a dog.   Fast forward to January 2014. I was now working as an independent designer (I was laid off from LPK in 2011). I was on site with one of my clients when I got a text message from Estelle. She sent me a picture of a dog. This dog was SMALL… super teeny tiny (about 5 pounds at the time). It was a 6-month-old black and tan Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and was just as sweet and adorable as h...
