I Am Large, I Contain Multitudes
A series of Symbolist, semi-plotless dialogues between aspects of myself. Usually discusses issues of identity, morality, and love.
The title comes from Walt Whitman's poem, Song of Myself, which states:
Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then, I contradict myself;
(I am large—I contain multitudes.) *Note: this comic sometimes contains profanity.
Sqidsy and Slink
 My oldest cartoon characters, Sqidsy and Slink, were created in 1994, when I was in the fourth grade. Since then I'd like to think they've developed and grown with me, and though I don't update their comics often, I doodle them often and consider them pretty special, and important to the artistic motivation and skill I possess today.
The comic is a somewhat plotless series of short jokes and interactions, much in the style of syndicated newspaper comics. The characters are a variety of woodland creatures and generally have simple personalities.
Misanthrope Tracy
A combination-parody of 1930's Dick Tracy comics by Chester Gould and Molière's Le Misanthrope. Created to explore the theme and setting for Goucher College's Senior Project Production of The Misanthrope.
Dragon Day
 A wordless story about two dragons and their day in the woods. Intended as a children's book, but enjoyable for anyone who likes dragons, really. I hope that if parents would share it with their children, they would encourage them to describe what's happening. That is, essentially, why I left out text. I also couldn't decide on a font so I figured it was for the best.
Waldo's Inferno
 Something that started off as an English project and accumulated somewhat of a fanbase at my high school. It stars Martin Hanford's famous Waldo and Dante and Virgil from The Inferno. It illustrates certain parts of Dante's journey into the depths of Hell, with Waldo tagging along, and several famous historical figures making appearances. I never colored it because, well, that would just be crazy.
