In 2007, I drew some character designs for the amazing and unique Seattle bar/gallery space McLeod Residence. Its website had a quasi-social network feature which assigned users a different animal/color/trait symbol based on their response to a short list of questions, much like an astrological sign (I don’t recall what the logic was behind how these were assigned). From left to right, the concepts I was asked to illustrate are: rational olive whale; lucky blue polar bear; sensual goldrenrod octopus; creative turquoise fox; visionary purple snail; intuitive tangerine penguin; wealthy red owl; risk-taking yellow jellyfish; emotional green alpaca; sociable indigo bee; healthy orange albatross; and aesthetic merlot butterfly.

Here’s a few images I drew several years ago for Paper Route Greetings, a Seattle-based line of cards created by Eileen Mullen.

This is the second of two full-page comics starring “The Group” that ran in The Stranger. I’m pretty sure the idea for Half-Everything was hatched by a grade schooler in one of my after-school comics classes.

This is one of two full-page “The Group” comics that originally ran in The Stranger.

Another Dwarf Attack strip, this one from 2002.

I did this comic, with an assist from David Lasky, for the back cover of our comic book Urban Hipster #2 (Alternative Press, 2003).

This drawing of French philosopher Jacques Derrida was published in Talk To Her (Fantagraphics Books, 2004), a collection of interviews by Kristine McKenna.

I designed the above logo for the album Love is Queer, by Seattle band The Glasses, in 2011.

This comic was a favorite of mine from a comic strip that ran in The Stranger and The Portland Mercury called Dwarf Attack (2000-2004).
