I got in touch with Tom Neely, by way of Josh Hooten, while were searching for a new design for our t-shirt fundraisers. I can’t say enough about how great Tom has been to us. He cut us a deal and came up with an amazing design, as well as, sent off some comics for giveaways. I can’t say I know much about the comic/cartoon world, but I will say that Tom Neely is officially endorsed as our favorite comic book artist/cartoonist/painter. Comic nerds, get stoked!

My freelance work in web-animation can be demanding and feels like it takes up too much time sometimes, but there is also plenty of down time that allows me to do my own work. I’m very dedicated to my DIY ideals and self-publishing my comics and art and having a “day job” is a big part of what makes that possible. But I’ve been flirting with the idea of finding something in between… I’d like to be doing more illustration for bands or magazines or something… I’d like to spend more of my day at the drawing table and less at a computer.
