Today I cleaned up a few more things on the website. Primarily, I added links at the bottom of the page. Aside from that, I took back the War of Exiles Prologue I'd been so proud to show off a few months ago. I know--no backsies--but I had to; the new draft is so different... Continue Reading →
“Hey! Look at you!”
Finally a new look for the site and a few pieces up for your viewing pleasure. Nothing too major--mostly old, old inkwork. But there are two character sketches up as well--one of mine and one by Peter John. Check them out and expect more soon. Also coming up in the near future--a look at my... Continue Reading →
A Split in the Road
I remember finishing the second draft of my book. I made the last corrections and was content. My friends and I had a barbeque over it and I was pretty certain I was about to achieve total victory; there was just one edit left--the one where I would spruce up all of the writing and...

Bannerman’s Castle: History on the Hudson
Whenever I say that I love New York, whenever I tell someone where I'm from, I never think of what I've grown up calling "upstate". To me, the city has always been all there was. It's not my fault--I grew up in the city; I used to spend my free Wednesdays at the Bronx Zoo,... Continue Reading →
Louis Santiago @ RAA
My mother said, "Look at that lamppost! I gotta get a picture!" I thought it was adorable because my mother is probably the most adorable person in the world. But also because I'd thought the same thing the last time I'd taken that bike path to Fort Tilden from Riis Park. I stopped thinking it... Continue Reading →
A Salute to Rockaway
Hey, everyone. By way of a quick update, I've been busy hauling artwork to Far Rockaway for the Rockaway Artists Alliance's A Salute to Rockaway exhibit. I've submitted six photos I was pretty proud of from my trips to Rockaway Beach and Fort Tilden. Pieces like Far Shore, Lagan, and POOPDICK. Again, that's POOPDICK. The... Continue Reading →
A Quick Update
I just thought I'd check in with you guys-I haven't been the best blogger in the universe, I know. This is because my free time = Work, Tutoring, Writing, Editing, Character Design. Regardless, the latter part of all of that means I'll be posting new content sooner than later. And in the meantime, at least... Continue Reading →
The Hallucinations Will Not Come
It's 7 PM and it's at least 10 degrees hotter in the dining room than it is outside. The dining room, now full of the brain cell-eating tang of very, very strong markers and a cup long emptied of ice water. Louis is ready to start hallucinating. He feels it's the next step after the... Continue Reading →
Fantasy NYC: Lev Grossman signing at Borders at Columbus Circle
From the start, Lev Grossman, the author of The Magicians was disarmingly awkward. Well, not from the start. He eased into it, if such a thing is even possible. But still, it was disarming. I'd spent the previous night absorbing the first 100 pages of Grossman's first fantasy novel and feeling dwarfed by it's prose.... Continue Reading →
The War is Almost Over
Just finished hand editing the first draft of Exiles. A week of power typing and I start submitting. But that also means that by at latest Wednesday, I'll be posting the first chapter of War of Exiles here! Awesome! Also, phew!
