COMICS
I still remember walking into a comic book store for the first time, back in 2001, just a few weeks after I arrived to the United States. I flipped through a back issue bin, and picked out two random issues of The Sandman solely because of Dave McKean’s stunning covers. I read them that afternoon (as much as I could, since I didn’t really know English) and went back the next week to pick up my first Sandman trade paperback.
I fell in love with comics, and it still makes me immensely happy that I get to write them!
OBSERVATORY COMICS
Observatory Comics was a flash fiction webcomic that ran between 2014 and 2017 at www.observatorycomics.com. Each installment was a one page long, stand alone short story. Over the years, it was a regular feature at heavymetal.com, was included as back matter in several issues of Hoax Hunters, and found its way onto the pages of Galaktika and The Charleston Anvil.
There was an extremely limited 28 page physical edition created for promotional purposes, and it was only available to the public once: on March 22nd, 2017, at All Books and Comics in St Augustine, Florida, during a signing of Invisible Hands #1.
The following year it was collected into a trade-paperback by Caliber Comics, as the 4th installment in their anthology series, Caliber Presents. It includes a brand new framing story, a gallery, a prose short story, and an introduction by horror author Mary SanGiovanni.
INVISIBLE HANDS
Invisible Hands is a 3 issue mini series from American Gothic Press, based on my Silver Scream Award winning script. This marked my first big collaboration with Michael Malatini, and I believe this marked his debut in American comic book stores!
I’m really proud of this book; unfortunately it is out of print and only available on the second hand market…
THE LAST PANEL
The Last Panel was a one panel cartoon series that originally appeared on the pages of The Dark Side horror magazine, starting with Issue 182 in April of 2017. It ran for 7 issues.

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES
I got into role-playing games in the early ‘90s, when I was about ten years old, and to say that it defined my teenage years would be an understatement. While it’s always been on my creative bucket list to one day make RPGs, I didn’t feel comfortable getting into the design space until I discovered the indie zine scene.
THE CONDUIT - a journaling solo RPG
The Conduit is a journaling solo RPG zine where you play a character who begins to receive telepathic messages. The goal of the game is to create an intriguing object in the form of a journal: a handwritten book crafted by someone who was bestowed secret knowledge. Revelations for our modern times.
We had a very successful Kickstarter campaign to bring this zine to life, check it out if you want to learn more about the game.
POD PEOPLE
An experimental horror RPG zine about a body-snatching alien invasion, inspired by movies such as Invaders From Mars, John Carpenter’s The Thing, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers… and imagines these stories from the point of view of the alien organism who tries to conquer Earth!
Pod People has a successful Kickstarter campaign, so please check out the page to learn more about it.
