A cartoonist, musician, and educator currently residing in Rochester, NY where he received his doctorate in jazz trumpet from the Eastman School of Music in 2013. He coexists in the comics and music worlds, resulting in a wide variety of creative projects, including Enter the Blue, a mind-bending look into jazz history through the eyes of a student and a teacher, commissioned by legendary record label Blue Note Records and published by Z2 Comics, Eisner-Award nominated Chasin' the Bird (Z2, 2020), Canopus (Scout Comics, 2021), and Instrumental (Z2, 2017). He teaches both comics and music classes at the Rochester Institute of Technology and The Hochstein School, and spends his free time hanging out with his wife Elise and their cats Penny and Archie.
TYRANNY OF THE MUSE is based on BROKEN BULBS, a novella by Eddie Wright published in 2009.
The comic book adaptation was launched via a successful Kickstarter in 2011.
Five issues were published digitally by Study Group Comics (2013 - 2017) and Alternative Comics (2014). Issues one and two were drawn by Jesse Balmer. A small limited run of issues 1-4 were printed for convention appearances (out of print).
The graphic novel is illustrated entirely by Dave Chisholm, re-edited, and expanded with all-new material.
