Reading Is Dangerous


I drew this comic to illustrate the essay "Clunkers" by James McWilliams in the July 7 NY Times Sunday Book Review. The article is a hilarious musing on books as projectiles, and probably the most fun piece I've had the chance to illustrate. Thanks to ADs Rex Bonomelli and Nicholas Blechman for the gig!

American Art


The latest comic in my series "Who Needs Art" is up on Medium.com. It's a reflective stroll through a gallery of 20th-century American art.

In other exciting news, a few of my comics were selected to appear in the Best American Comics 2013! It's not available in stores until October, but you can see the cover (by the incomparable Kate Beaton) here.

Some other places you can find my work:
The Hic and Hoc Illustrated Journal of Humor, an outstanding collection of humor comics edited by Lauren Barnett and Nathan Bulmer.
Alternative Comics #4, featuring an equally star-studded lineup of cartoonists.
The "Nerds for Hire" podcast, where I discuss freelancing as a visual artist with hosts Non Wells and Mindy Holahan.
