Small town Kentucky guy who creates his own comic, Man in the Mask. I also draw a LOT of golden age characters.

Took a stroll through Lexington Comic & Toy Con last night and had a great conversation with the very gracious Dan Riba. Picked up an awesome Spirit head sketch (during Eisner week on Eisner’s birthday) along with a couple prints of my favorite Bat villains.
