Map highlighting coal plants that pose a threat to local drinking water in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains. I was happy to learn that I don’t live near any coal ash ponds, but am quite sad to see just how many of these power plants pose a significant or higher hazard rating.

Kid Hercules 365 Challenge Update
Here’s just a few samples of my ongoing 365 challenge for a character I’m developing called Kid Hercules. I actually completed the challenge back in April, but have a pretty big backlog of images to upload. This has been such a great project and something that has helped improve my work in ways I never expected!
You can follow my progress over at kidhercules365.blogspot.com and check out everything I’ve been able to post so far.

Comic Ground: Cartoons for Common Ground Magazine

Healing Circle Closed | Client: Common Ground Magazine 
The Power of No | Client: Common Ground Magazine San Francisco’s Common Ground magazine is leading up to its 40th anniversary with an issue devoted to the importance of humor. Editor Rob Sidon, who knew me from my days doing comics and short animations for a meditation center in India, called me up to ask if I had anything on hand. Alas, I had none. But that didn’t stop me from putting pencil to paper.The first one, like most good humor, is actually based on a true event. The second one I did is a variation on an idea I had for a Grumpy Cat meme playing off Ekhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.You can check them both out, along with the whole issue, here: http://www.sopdigitaledition.com/commonground/#/20/
