Well shit. Age 44 – the year that actually tried to kill me. Jesus Christ. In September ’22 I wound up in the hospital for 2 weeks due to an infection in my leg which was killing me, as well as essentially melting the bones in my foot. I was out of work for a …

Ok, PANIC! 2021
Back in early 2010, I took part in a bi-weekly curated art group called Ok, PANIC! I stuck with it through about mid-2013. It closed up shop in mid-2015. It has been unavailable on the internet for quite a while, but you can take a look at chunks of it via Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. …
Finite #4
I recently drew the back cover for Finite #4, the newest issue of the sci-fi comic by my friend Bruce O. Hughes. The issue will debut this upcoming weekend at the first Mid-Pandemic Gem City Comic Con. I might be there Sunday. Come infect us! Besides the back cover, I also edited and re-lettered some …
Zorro (42)
I’ve usually written something (sad) for my birthday. I got nothin’. You’re all living it, too. Welcome to my level. So, instead: In TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), the second 16-bit word of every file is 42, “an arbitrary but carefully chosen number that further identifies the file as a TIFF file”. The ASCII code …
1000. Self-Loathing Narcissist
I’m a self-loathing narcissist. I hate myself, I think everything I do is awful, and a waste of everyone’s time. Over and over again, I am proven to be correct in this assessment. For the last month, I have been trying to sell my merchandise over my store with all proceeds intended to go to …
353 – The Eric Shonborn Year End of the Year Award for 2011
So in 2011, I began – unbeknownst to anyone, including me – to consider nominations for the 1st ever Eric Shonborn Year End of the Year Award. A lot of people were considered, but there could only be one winner: JB Sapienza! JB is a renaissance man with many talents and ventures, including co-running the …
044 – Self Portrait
From me in the future. On a post-it note with a ball-point pen.
Ok, PANIC!
2021 Update: Ok, PANIC! is long dead, my contributions to it long before that. It was a stupid experiment that I tolerated a lot longer than I should have. No offense to the other artists who contributed. The ones I was directly involved with anyway. I have re-homed my Ok, PANIC! artwork elsewhere on the …
Hawkgirl (30)
I’m old today. This is definitely not where I saw myself at the age of 30. 2008 has been a definite shit year for me, mostly of my own design. The comic thing is still a definite goal for me, but I work slowly. I want my projects to mean something personally to me. I …
In Brightest Day, In Blackest… oooh Pizza!
Self portrait of the artist as a Green Lantern. Fuck you Hal Jordan.
