I write and draw a webcomic called Retail Gods. My wife, Megan (miditron), edits it for me. It is about a bookstore infested with penguins. Check it out, I'm certainly having fun making it, so hopefully you will have fun reading it.

In addition to that I have a job that tend to consume the rest of my life. One is with a nonprofit called Kid Pan Alley which does songwriting workshops for kids. Check them out too. It is a tiny nonprofit that needs support.

I have designed ad cards and such for many of my jobs, so these may be included in some of my swaps. I have a compulsive urge to spread the word about causes and organizations I am a part of.
