It's kinda weird, but I wanted to play with zip-a-tone, which is these pages of dot patterns people used to use in comic books to create shadows and texture. I wanted to do something to play with that, so I started thinking up a comic strip. Then I made some digital zip in Adobe Illustrator and found out all the dots just turn into a muddy gray mess when reduced to web-sized jpgs. So... there's no zip-a-tone in Comics From Space. Whoops!
The story of it mostly got made up as I went along. I just wanted to do something on a retro space ship, with big bubble helmets and big fins on the ships and stuff. Now it seems to be about how the future is never as exciting as it seems once it gets here. I like the idea that people zooming around the galaxy in a space ship are just as bored at work as we are. :) -
In the shower, right? He's not much of a morning person. :) Don't worry, he's ok.

I've been drawing as long as I cam remember. From little squiggly lines that were supposed to be X-Wing Fighters and Spider-Man as a toddler, to somewhat less squiggly lines that are supposed to be X-Wing Fighters and Spider-Man today! My folks were very encouraging and cool enough to buy me comics even before I was old enough to read them for myself.
I guess my first comics seen outside my bedroom were for the junior high school newspaper, and let me tell you, they were bad! I think I stole all the jokes from newspaper comics.
My current stuff can really be traced back to comics artist extraordinaire Ben Rosen. He got me into doing daily journal comics, and after a year of those, I felt like I could probably handle the workload of a real webcomic. I'd had the idea for Comics From Space! floating around in my head for a few years at that point, and then it was just a matter of doing it. Six month later, the comics are still coming, so I guess it's working...

I make comics. I also read comics. And sometimes I talk about comics.
