Unicorn Girl
I originally did this one for YAND: Volume 2, but while that was on hiatus someone else asked if it could be in their anthology. I'm still waiting to see how the othe anthology is, but you can enjoy this story right now. (This is my favorite comic so far.)
Pelota
A 50 page comic that I did for my final BFA project in college. In case the page count sounds daunting, I don't use a lot of words for this one, it seems more like a pilot episode for a kids TV show, than a graphic novella. I really enjoyed working on this and designing the characters based on sculpture from the tombs of western Mexico. There is also an Olmec character as well, but everyone else is western Mexican.
Scary Thoughts
This was a short story that I did for the anthology Project: Romantic. This is a wordless comic, so it reads REALLY fast.
Emo Kids
Rather than do a single illustration for a final project in one of my classes in school, I did a comic about a friend of mine, my brother-in-law and me. (I am the stupid one that eats the sandwich.) I know that we are not very traditionally emo, but I liked to talk about emo stuff at the time, and we were way more emo than the majority of students at Brigham Young University - Idaho. Most of this comic is based on a couple of conversations I had with these two individuals.
