Hi! I am Dave. I draw and write comics, and a lot of the time they’re about music since I’m a musician. 🎺

I first met Josh Frankel from @Z2comics at NYCC in 2013--I gave him a pitch packet for INSTRUMENTAL. Z2 eventually put it out in 2017. This led to CHASIN' THE BIRD. And THAT led to ENTER THE BLUE, out in January! What a journey! This will be one of the prints with the DELUXE ed.!

Here are a few close-ups of this jam

I wanted to draw a Batman after teaching today and I managed to finish it just before the end of #BatmanDay #BatmanDay2021. I like him best when he's basically a scary shape. Black, red, and white ink and red colored pencil on vellum bristol board.

It's that day every college instructor loves--today in my class COMICS & MUSIC we'll be discussing formal devices in my two music-related graphic novels INSTRUMENTAL and CHASIN' THE BIRD. How does INSTRUMENTAL formally reflect its soundtrack? How does BIRD depict music? :-)

Why didn’t any of you tell me there was a book of piano music inspired by KRAZY KAT published in 1922, with 17 illustrations by George Herriman?! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS
