WELL I AM OFF TO EMERALD CITY COMIC CON! It’s gonna be a fantastic weekend- even though i did a very costly boneheaded travel blunder and booked my flight for last weekend and not this weekend. It cost $1400 to rebook for my crew and I. A learning lesson for sure, one that was quite […]

Well phoenix comic con is done and I am home- Full show write up coming in a few moments.    

Trav’s Tidbits & Other Notes: There is something to be said about a good comicon. If the show is good, it can do re-jump start an artist in a very positive way. Phoenix Comicon was that show. It was a show I needed this year and one that has put an extra boost in my […]

Well – here’s today’s update. I am really sorry about the spelling issues in the last few pages. I will try and make sure it is better. The good news is that before it goes to press, it goes through a lot edit passes. I really feel bad about the last few days, and there […]

This is a pic of my friend Troy and myself (I am standing). It has been 25 years since Troy and I have seen each other face to face. When I moved from LA we lost contact, until a year or so ago when we found each other on facebook. We’ve changed a bit from […]

Amazed by how some educators, teachers and people in general treat comics and comic creators. Like we are all lazy, non-talented story tellers, who produce work of nothing but pictures that has no value for kids and that our careers are basically a joke…. you are really misguided. Comics are not just about zombies and […]
