My Hometown is back in Meadville PA. A sucker for a good joke here and there, I fondly remember always waiting for the Sunday paper to come so I could dive into a vast selection of great comics. I'm 19 years old but I started writing The Wind Up around 2004, originally just planned to be a fictional novel at the time. After the years went by I began to revise the story and rename characters but I felt like the sense of visual pleasure was missing. I used to never find interest in illustration whatsoever but I figured that this was a type of language that I needed to learn other than just writing. This bilingual expression of words and images fueled my interest in comic making leading to why I chose my major in fine arts.
