Blüd City Street Fight
A wrestling comic that is not a wrestling comic. I love siege movies and wrestling, and one day thought, what if a professional wrestler had a literal death match to get out of an impossible situation. Luckily, I remembered I draw comics and did it myself. Then, naturally it spiraled out of control and I built a whole world out of it
Professional wrestler ‘Bulletproof’ Jack Stallion is celebrating his retirement match in Blüd City. As Jack is leaving his party, a woman is being abducted in the alley. That woman is the mayor of Blüd City, and only professional wrestling can save them. Jack may be retired, but the death match is just beginning.
Grab the 48-page softcover of this soon-to-be classic, plus take advantage of a rare opportunity to get a commission from illustrator Erik Whalen!

Now there are 3 completed Anthology books, three spinoff series, and more than 300 pages of content that has been created that has yet to be published.
After taking 2023 off to get caught up and organized, Sex, Spies, & Rock ‘n Roll is back and ready to do a soft reboot for people to get caught up, and to get on board for the first time, and to see at least 4 new comics and graphic novels being offered every year moving forward.

The main stories revolve around Cassi Storm, a young woman who finds herself becoming one of the world’s foremost secret agents, along with her lover, and his best friend. It spreads to their friends and families, and the intricate knots of intrigue and conspiracy that bind them all together.

Cthulhu Giraffe – Break Kickstarter!
Help me design this Cthulhu Giraffe drawing, and get an ashcan comic book!
This Kickstarter is offering a super limited edition ashcan comic book about an elder giraffe god. But it is way more than that. You can also get a 6×9 print or a 4×6 postcard of the Cthulhu giraffe, with extra stuff drawn into it, as decided by the backers.
When you back this project, you get to tell me what to add to the drawing. Just comment on the Kickstarter and tell me to add something to the drawing, and I’ll do it (as long as it is appropriate – I decide what is and isn’t appropriate). Remember that every backer gets to add something – so be judicious in what you choose! The final print and postcard will be a ridiculous image crowdsourced by you, the backers. I’ll update it as often as I can, at least once a day, if not more, until the campaign ends and the final additions are submitted.
