Seeing your work develop over time has been a privilege.  Some artists have a more lively way of drawing lines than others and you are one of them.  Somehow your work has an organic, lively quality that in my experience is very rare and welcome.  Also there is something so touching and human about your subjects.  

It's even there in your early work with guys so huge they can't move. While most of us simply fetishize big muscles (and happily this is an element, for those of us who love that stuff, in your work) or very large guys, you manage to impart something vulnerable, confused, comic and human in them.  These pieces with characters interacting are especially strong.

i've used the word human twice but it is the sense of your work I love the most.  Do you draw professionally?  The level you work suggests you are or should be.  

Anyway, as a guy who has seen a lot of gay comics, I find myself excited about your work in a similar way I was with Alison Bechdel when Dykes to Watch Out was showing up.  Here is something truly original and wonderful (and gay) and I want to see more of it.  I'm not saying your work is similar to hers at all in any substantive way, just that you are out there creating something that feels new and your work surprises and delights me.

You are too kind, thank you! I hope to continue to improve.

I don't draw professionally, all of my art and design related endeavors are hobbies for now, but perhaps one day.
