Long Bio for July 2011
I write things, like this comic here and pieces like Placebo which was hosted here and posted weekly for free. A zine version is here.
I have poetry and short stories in collections in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
I’ve become more widely known for my painted creatures which you can buy on my etsy site. I also take commissions on paintings.
I did a little webcomic called Peas which I put out every friday for a few years. Still have buttons.
My latest project is with artist and my wife Jessica C. White. It’s a webcomic called Daytime Ghost Hunter. I’m very proud of it so far.
In July 2007 I founded con-news.com, which has grown into the leading daily convention news site in the world. It averages over 10,000 unique readers of whom visit 100,00 times per month. I naturally also attend a lot of conventions, sometimes as an artist, sometimes as a fan. You can see my upcoming appearances here.
I’m under the name luckycreature on Twitter, Facebook, Formspring, Xbox Live, and PSN. Please join me on your social platform of choice.
I love college football, media scifi, and pop culture. I collect Minimates. I don’t like the word bored.
I live in Asheville, NC with my beautiful wife Jessica C. White and two cats.
Before all this I have put out records, posters, and other items by other artists. You can see the list of those and anything I contribute to under Releases .
I plan on continuing all of this for a long time, hope you’ll join me.
My email is luckycreaturelabel@gmail.com
I’m open to all invites, collaborations, commissions, and really anything that involves you and me.
In time.
I love Gattaca by the same director. Some good actors in this too. Hopefully Justin Timberlake can pull off the action star.
Illogicon.

Just been added to the program participants list for the first ever Illogicon next January 13th-15th, 2012 in Raleigh, NC. Super excited for NC to get another convention and happy to be a part of it. The hope is for me and Jessica to also have an artist table at the show, but details on that are still forthcoming. See you in Raleigh in January.
Spidey returns.
Well I loved Mirrors Edge, but that was video game. Do I need first person shaky cam on the big screen? And do we really need a new origin story movie? Couldnt we just start from the middle? We’ll see.
Castle Crasher

My Castle Crasher creature made it into this etsy treasury over on Moms Basement. It is still available at Etsy.
The Dark Knight Rises
WOOOH!!!!
Etsy updated,
Rob-con




Really blown away at the reception at Rob-con today. We did really really well. Makes me rethink some things about which shows were attending. I painted three of these during the few slow times today and will put on etsy. The Pirate is a Captain Jack I did on commission for a nice young lady. Again, we had a great time at Rob-con and hope to return next year.
Rob-Con!
Heading out in the morning to Rob-con in Bristol, VA. Jess will be spliting the table with me. Hope to see some of you there!
