\"danceparty_color\"<\/a>Cartooning has been a passion of mine since I was a kid. I’ve been printing my comics since I was a teenager, and I’ve been putting my comics on the web since before the turn of the century.<\/p>\n

I was a founding member of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy<\/a> in Minneapolis in 2002, an organization that has had cells located around the world.<\/p>\n

I have been an editor, organizer, curator, designer and\/or participant in a number of comics anthologies (most done in collaboration with the Cartoonist Conspiracy), including Weird Illustrated, Lutefisk Sushi Volumes A-E<\/a>, BIG FUNNY<\/a>, little funny, Jam War, Just Add Ink<\/a> and Alley Cat, among others. Many of these anthologies were also in collaboration with a couple local Minneapolis art galleries (Altered Esthetics and Creative Electric Gallery), and included accompanying gallery shows and events.<\/p>\n

My comics have been featured in Lutefisk Sushi volumes A-E<\/a>, BIG FUNNY<\/a>, Just Add Ink<\/a>, Alley Cat, Comicopolis, Posters and Pints<\/a>, and in the Hot Ink: Comic Art<\/a> show at the Minnesota Museum of American Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am also a featured cartoonist in the book Superheroes, Strip Artists, and Talking Animals: Minnesota\u2019s Contemporary Cartoonists<\/a> by Britt Aamodt, published by the Minnesota Historical Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to read some of my comics, a lot of them are online. Here are some of my comics<\/a> projects:<\/p>\n

\nMonkey’s Paw<\/a> (with Ben Zmith<\/a>)
\nSoapy the Chicken
\n<\/a>The Beer Drinker’s Hall of Fame<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the years, in addition to illustrating comics, I have illustrated concept art, storyboards, schematics, illustrations for childrens’ entertainment, game illustrations, illustrations to accompany articles and blog posts, and random doodles on every available scrap of paper I could get a moment alone with.<\/p>\n
