About

“This very website is based entirely around the concept of no longer liking something. When you don’t like something that other people do like, you naturally wonder why that is. My entire purpose here is to make a passionate and convincing argument with which you can side (or assail), make it funny, and if at all possible, make it a cartoon. To go against this unstated mission would betray my loyal readers and myself. Koo koo gajoob.”

THE FINE PRINT

If you want to hire me, WYSIWYG. I am often behind on commissions/deadlines and frankly I do not work fast. Please do not confuse me with any sort of “art slave”. As you can see from this page, I have been a functioning professional independent artist since 1991. Regarding licensing, works cited above, and all material on this website, unless I request it, I accept no editorial guidance whatsoever. Thank you for your understanding.
