I grew up trying to draw comic books. My father collected Marvels and DC's but my uncle collected undergrounds. This was back in the 70's, so I was reading things that reached back into the 50's. In the early 90's Caliber Press published a series of mine called Tad Martin.
I went to school to learn how to draw, only to discover they couldn't teach me. I didn't really learn how to draw to suit myself until I was 40.
I try to work with images that people might find disturbing, simply because that's what I would like to see in art that I am attracted to.

"Tad Martin" was THE best punk rock/psychobilly comic of the '80s - or any decade (so far) for that matter.

Will Tad ever make a comeback? What about a bound collection of all of his (mis)adventures? That would be mega-cool.

I doubt I'd ever draw more Tad stuff. It just takes too long. Plus I don't have a proper publisher. Maybe if I didn't have to work I'd start again,but then again, like Judd Crandall said in Pet Semetary, "Sometimes, dead is better."

I approached caliber Press about doing a collection, but they're almost dead in the water.

Thanks for actually remembering!

Your art looks very interesting! I used to be able to do Ink works, but I stopped for some reason.
