CARTOONING &

ILLUSTRATION

Conquering the world through pencil and ink

Ever since my first comic strip "Albrizzi", a middle school clone of Garfield, I knew I wanted to draw comics. In high school, my homework notebook became "Uagweek", making astute fake news covers way before fake news was hip. In college, I heightened my cartooning career by self-distributing my comic strip "The Brick Life" at the dining halls. It went on to be published in the school paper and got a 2-page spread in my graduating yearbook. From there, I knew I was destined to spend my life as a syndicated cartoonist.

 

That dream was met with mild success. In 1993, my strip "Mulberry Place" was published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch for a bit more than a year.  And my submissions to the newspaper syndicates nationwide brought in TONS of letters. Rejection letters, but actually several with really good comments and feedback. Right about then my animation career started taking off, and the focus switched to motion graphics and video. I continued to do some local political cartoons and illustrations, and have just recently found myself inspired to express my world opinions again through the pencil and pen.
