COMICS

BORDER CROSSINGS
A fantasy allegory for the globalization era. Kamandi and The Wizard of Oz in a marine based, steam-punk mash-up. A salvage submarine crew's pursuit of the last human redefines the meaning of free society.

DUE NORTH
10-page web comic with illustrator Lauren Pettapiece. Lucas North is the human nucleus of all existence. Other people's identities diverge in alternate realities depending on the choices they made, but Lucas always remains consistent. Uniquely perceptive, he is aware of infinite possible outcomes but can't find a living example of the American Dream. It seems a dead betrayal to others, but Lucas is still convinced it exists. DUE NORTH is a non-linear traveler's tale of the modern day bard, examining American culture through adventure, storytelling and the Socratic method.

FIVES
A photography comic book based on a series of nightmares I experienced in 2001, Fives is about a pretentious writer struggling with a recent break-up by fantasizing about a movie script idea he has. Originally this book was meant to be 64 pages long, but some of the principle actors in the project became unavailable when they moved to different cities. The photography was executed by Amber Porter. She and I shared the graphic design duties.
