I decided long ago not to have a pseudonym to distinguish my work for kids from my work for adults. No separate websites, no separate business cards. And no separate blogs, which is actually starting to feel a little weird. Is it weird? I just figure people can sort it out for themselves.
Last Gasp’s Best Erotic Comics 2008 will be out next month. It includes two of my comics, plus I did the cover.
