Hi everybody and thanks for the great reponses to my comics "Smell A Rat" and "Innovation".
In recent news:
"Smell A Rat" is now available as part of a kickstarter anthology called "Horror of Loon Lake". It was written, edited and masterminded by Carl Smith, and it is 100+ pages of pure classic horror comic book nostalgia (of which 23 pages is the Smell A Rat story). This is a chance to own my art and the art of a host of other artists in print. The story:
A kid goes on a vacation to Loon Lake. Bored out of his mind, he goes fishing at Loon Lake and fishes up 3 comic books from the river. Did he get a good catch...or is HE the catch?!
Head on over now, pledge to get a great comic book if you like, and be sure to come back and finish reading this journal entry! XD --> www.kickstarter.com/projects/3…
-----------------------
Welcome back! So the next update is that I'm going to send you over somewhere else again, this time to read an 8pg werewolf comic that I drew. It was written by Jeff Rider. COME BACK! --> www.cloudwranglercomics.com/be…
-----------------------
Lastly, New York Comicon starts on Thursday. I hope everyone has a great time!

Happy PI day 2022
I basically missed my new year's post by 3 months and 14 days (or if you count COVID, missed by 2 years, 3 months and 14 days...). Well here I am, happy PI day instead! In my last journal, I listed a bunch of ideas on what I was thinking of working on in 2019. I decided to work on Transformers fanart and I began posting almost daily in 2019 on Instagram. I've since cooled off but not after growing my social media following there to 8K around the end of 2021. I usually talk about new year's resolutions in this journal. So what do I hope to achieve in 2022? Well my art interests took a big shift at the end of 2021 because of the whole NFT scene. It really sparked my imagination and rekindled my dreams of reaching a bigger audience with my original ideas, instead of fanart. So far in the beginning of 2022, I've even expanded into AI art, which is all the rage now. I hope you all get to explore the new frontier of NFTs and AI art as well. I've also been pleasantly surprised at a recent
Happy New Year 2019
Time to unload some thoughts!
So 2018 came and is 11 hours from completion. Compared to 2017, I posted a lot less to social media in 2018. I think I was rediscovering myself (again). I think also it was because I started working full time (for the most part) around May.
The biggest highlight of 2018 was finally producing my own story (art and writing) called Mind Transfer, which is broken down into 2 volumes, Saving Amelia and Amelia Starsaden. View the story here:

In all, I posted 28 chapters (with some tangential posts and update posts). Armed with this
To Conquer a Lie
July 30, 2012 is a day that forever changed my entire life, but more specific to this blog, it changed my life as an artist.
That day I joined my first Meetup via meetup.com. It was a local NYC meetup called “Unblocking Creativity”, run by Ben Henderson, who based his meetup on the teachings of Byron Katie. I sat down in his apartment along with about 10 other creatives, surrounded by his abstract paintings. Below is a chronological recount of my notes, thoughts and quotes from Ben that day. I hope that by presenting my notes in this fashion that you will get a feeling of the “journey of discovery of the self” that I f

In January 2013, I listed a bunch of quotes I read in a magazine. Here they are again, but with added notes from how my thoughts have changed since then:
- To improve your rapport with the person you are talking to, synch your body language to that person for 30 seconds.
How I feel now: Rapport is not something you *will* into existence by some mechanical movements.
- Look in the mirror and say "Great!" in as many different ways as you can until you laugh. (I tried this, I really did laugh and it didn't take long.)
How I feel now: Still agree.
- "Mastery" is not genius. It is a function of concentration and time. (This great quote is cor

Loved the werewolf comic. All dark and gritty. Fit the mood of the story.
