FAQ'S

What are you working on right now?

I've got a couple of fun

things in the works for the

rest of 2019 - stay tuned!

Then, its on to more Head Lopper adventures!

Will you sign my books if I see you at a show? Do you charge for signatures?

Heck yes! No I don't charge for signatures, thank you for picking up my books!

What are you reading right now?

I am filling in some gaps by reading a lot of classic comics that I didn't have access to when I was growing up like Akira, Lone Wolf & Cub, and Nausicaa.

How did you develop your style?

Time. Developing a style takes a lot of time, and it is really a constantly evolving concept. The more you read, the more you see, the more you are able to take in what others have done before you and try to make it your own.

What is a Laser Wolf Attack?

Haha! Laser Wolf Attack is the Lifestyle Brand that I own and operate with my wife. We wanted a creative venue that was not tied to a comic book. I have done a lot of the designs thus far, and right now we sell mostly clothing and accessories, including Head Lopper merch, but we have some BIG plans for 2019 and 2020 so stay tuned!

I made some fanart of your work and I'd like to sell prints/pins/etc., is that cool with you?

Tough one! Short answer, no, I'd prefer that you don't. Longer answer.... fanart is SUPER cool and when someone makes fanart of one of my properties I am very flattered. If you want to make something from my books for yourselves, or your friends or family, that's totally cool, rock on! But, here's the thing with selling unlicensed products - it is actually hurting the very creators that you like enough to make the fanart to begin with. Comics is truly a labor of love for me, but it is also how I make a living. It is how I buy toothpaste, feed my dog, and gas up my car to drive to conventions. The economics of comics and the legalities of Intellectual Property and Copyright Law are pretty tedious, so let's leave that to the experts!
