Was there one specific moment or event that inspired you to do what you do? Or was it something that you simply "fell into"?

    Every since I was able to hold a crayon I was fascinated with comics. Heck, when I was 8 or 9 I even sent my comic ideas off to Marvel Comics thinking they were the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    There were a few turning points in terms of the style of comic I do. For the longest time I wanted to draw super hero comics, I copied the styles of all the greats. (Not that I copied them well) After showing my stuff to some folks they pointed out that all I was doing was recreating the work of someone else. That caused a light bulb to go off in my head and this marked the point when my style went to a more cartoony slant. I'd like to say that it was a normal cartoon, but even back then (1984 or so?) my comics were odd.

    The other turning point was when my friend Mike gave me a copy of the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. After reading that book my comics took on a different world view which seems to have crept into every comic I have every done. You see it in "L.O.S.T." and even more s in a 8 page mini-comic I did called "Reflections" And it may be even more prominent in my next comic project, which is still lacking a name or even a solid format at the moment.
