In this stand-alone, black comedy/psychological horror, a man is tasked with delivering the leader of a cult to an ex-member, with the promise of being reunited with a missing woman. As each layer of the mystery is peeled back, the nightmare only goes deeper.
Year of the Rabbit (or: Little Blue Plastic Flowers) blends my sense of humour with my sense of horror, illustrated in a black & white cartoony style, aimed at mature readers. It explores themes of letting go of the past and shows how obsession can be crippling.
This project was years in the making. The story was originally conceived as a screenplay, but something about it just wasn't working. It wasn't weird enough, and it wasn't funny enough. Because of this, it remained not fully fleshed out. Eventually it was repurposed and re-envisioned as a graphic novel. The 104-page screenplay translated to 260 illustrated pages that took three winters to draw. The next one will be shorter.
Pitch Black Heart Syndrome is a collection of 52 poems and photo collages over 88 pages. All poems written by myself, and all photo and photo manipulations done by myself. The project was envisioned as if it was the lyric book to an album by my own one-man industrial metal band (that does not exist).
Themes explored include depression, despair, injustice, self-destruction, and self-repair.
This 310-page Ricky & Dick collection combines 300 comic strips of my own wildly unpopular pseudo-semi-autobiographical series. It includes 36 pages of pinup art in different styles, and a 100-page graphic novel. The topics explored include mental health and the perception of the self... but it's also full of swears and graphic violence, too.
Two adventure game stories are compiled into one book in this project. Adventure #1 (Beer Island, written in 2009) sees you and your buddy, Jeff, trekking through town, contending with the quirky townsfolk on the way to crash a party you were never invited to.
Flip the book over and you’ll find Adventure #2 (Squatch Hunt, written in 2024) which takes place 15 years later. In need of some cash, you team up with Jeff once again, this time putting your wilderness expertise to test as you venture into the forest to capture a photo of Sasquatch.
(Right) The mess of pathways I subjected myself to during the writing, testing, and editing of this project. A headache to be sure, but I'll still probably write another one. Created using Twinery.
