I’ve played in theaters, tents, and basements, for multi-stage festivals and squirrel rodeos. I’ve written and recorded music for The Drunken Odyssey. Sublime eclectic mayhem.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #271: Distant Visions
Last year, I talked about the first issue of Oni Press’s new anthology, Xino. The creative teams showed us myriad visions of the hell-future we’re dragging ourselves towards.
