I'm working on it. I’m a comic creator and artist, best known for my work on the New York Times bestselling TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - THE LAST RONIN. Here's an up-close, personal look inside my COMIC ART STUDIO in MAINE, where I share my process of MAKING COMICS — both at the desk and in my head. See how professional comics are actually made day to day, along with everything that comes with trying to make a living doing that - ( running a store, managing a fan club with quarterly boxes, being a boss, husband, and DAD etc. ) I also share behind-the-scenes looks at illustration and toy design for the NECA TMNT action figures, my many comic projects and the process of starting this YouTube channel / VLOG & navigating the real struggles of tech, anxiety, pressure, mental health, & finding a home / work balance as a creator. If you’re into art, process, comic books and what it's really like being a working artist... Welcome.
