An animated short film I like to call “The Juggler” because that’s its name.

Here is a short animated film I made when I was really bored once (that's probably the best mindset to have before you watch it). It uses hand-drawn cell-animation which took quite a bit of time to do, but I think you'll find that all the effort was worth it.

Tips for Mac noobs (if you don’t know what ‘noob’ means, it means you).

I get asked a lot of the same questions now that the world is abandoning Windoze machines in favor of Mac computers. So, I'm compiling a list of favorite apps that are free or cheap. Then I can just refer people to this page and make their lives a little easier.

Yeah, I still have a comic book collection. So?

I'll admit it: I was a loser when I was a kid. As proof, here's a list of all the titles and issues I have boxed up in plastic sleeves... somewhere. I have no intention of selling them yet as they comprise the sum total of my retirement plan. However, if you REALLY want an issue that I have, email me and we'll talk.

Cartoons are just badly drawn ads that don't sell anything.

For awhile, The San Francisco Bay Guardian news weekly was offering $50 a pop for cartoons with restaurant themes to run in their newspaper's Dining section. I cranked out a few in my spare time because, hey...fifty bucks is fifty bucks.

People often tell me that I have a way with words, and I frequently tell them that they're stupid and illiterate.

Then, just before I jump, I think of these quotes and decide not to paint that Mercury Marquis parked on the street below with my own blood. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know you do.

“Virgin Homebuyers.” My award-winning tale of California home ownership.

As a small child, my fondest dream was to one day become The All-Powerful Supreme Overlord of Earth (regardless of how difficult that title would be to print on business cards). The dream of most other Americans, conversely, is somewhat less grand and considerably more achievable: to own their own home.
