My Bio
Hi, I'm Josh and I draw dumb things.

I am a writer/artist from Tampa, FL who specializes in cartoon art. I have written many indie comic books including Facebeast and Agatha Frisky, I have written and illustrated my own webcomic (The Hall Monitors), and I am currently working on my first graphic novel, Ella Strange, due out sometime in 2014.

I'm influenced mostly by the cartoons I watched as a kid in the 90s, and the movies of the Disney Renaissance. I would say Glen Keane, Dr. Seuss, and John Kricfalusi are some of my favorite artists.

So, as you can see from my gallery, I am quite fascinated with making my favorite characters musicians and throwing them into bands. I come from a small musical background, and I play several instruments (none of them very good, but whatever. I mainly play the guitar, bass, ukulele, and tenor saxophone. I would love to learn many more instruments, but for now I'll just give them to random comic and cartoon characters to play. That brings me to something I call musician commissions. Do you play an instrument, or have one you wish you could play? Have a favorite character? Ever think about that character playing the same instrument you play, o

Hi, this is a journal entry. The first one. I really have nothing to talk about, but this part of the page seemed really depressing with nothing posted on it. So here I am... writing a thing. Go me! But seriously, when are the writers of The Walking Dead show going to kill Carl? Fuck that kid is annoying. - Josh
