Two teenage elves, a twin brother and sister, are destined to save their world. Not only do they have to work with paranoid, magic-fearing humans, but they must learn to work with each other.
The Elves of LleuGarnock is rated PG and updates twice a week.
An ancient war between two groups of half-dragons breaks out again in present-day Philadelphia.
Dragon’s Fall is a graphic novel which I draw and co-write with William Righetti. We update every other Monday.
Webcomics on Twitter
There are lots of different sites that attempt to categorize Twitter users, but there are disadvantages. Most of them require the user to know about the service and sign themselves up. I started my Twitter account to network with other webcomic artists, but it’s also become a place to find and list webcomic artists on Twitter. I find a focused human brain is the best way to catalogue such a specific demographic of Twitter users. You can read more about this project here.
Blog
And of course, I blog right here on my blog. Mostly I complain about having to draw my comics.

I work on a Wacom Cintiq, using the GIMP, from sketch to color. The first two chapters of The Elves of LleuGarnock were done on paper; over the course of that first year I taught myself to ink with a brush, and that skill has proven invaluable in my switch to a digital process. I like learning how to use every medium I can, but with digital art it seems like I’ll never run out of things to learn. It’s a lot of fun.
I love reading, but I never read comic books when I was a kid; my biggest influences are plain old books. I especially love the Narnia books and Sherlock Holmes. It wasn’t until college that I started reading manga and webcomics, so I’ve only been drawing comics for a couple of years. I’d like to think my skills are just starting to develop.
I went to Bryn Athyn College, where I got an interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree in art and English. The Elves of LleuGarnock is based on my ID project, which was an illustrated children’s book called “The Sun Elves.”
I’ve been married to James Pitcairn for two years. We live in the Philadelphia suburbs, close to both our huge extended families.
