Some “Heroes” Doodles
I spent last week’s train trip to New York watching season one of “Heroes” with my mom. This was the first doodle to come out of that; more to come.
Finally some Pittsburgh-buildings!
My first attempt at drawing buildings with a Pentel brush pen. This is a street in East Liberty that I’d only seen from a car window. When I accompanied my friend Scheiny to the Femme Show, I had a minute to chill on South Highland Ave. and check out some of the old buildings. (This […]
WTF, Everybody is GORGEOUS!
I’ve been staring at this screen for awhile (3 false starts, exactly), wondering how to articulate how I felt at The Femme Show. It was like being a bit character in Dykes to Watch Out For. It was like fresh air when you’ve been in an office all day. It was like venting, with a […]
The Femme Show

Eating Well in Pittsburgh
In case you’re in Pittsburgh and are curious, this comic features Oh Yeah! ice cream, Sushi Too, and the Coffee Tree. All within walking distance of each other, by the way.
Pittsburgh Doodles
Sorry I don’t have a finished comic page to post, but here is a sketchbook page for you. I doodled this during Bach, Beethoven and Brunch, a summer outdoor concert series in Pittsburgh. Also, I stumbled onto Jason Turner’s Page 100 Project last week, so look out for a page or three of novel adaptations […]
