About
I live in my hometown of Winchester, NH where I make comics. My strip Spinning World appears each month in The Commons. I founded the Keene Comics Group in September 2004 and ended it in February 2006 when Daniel Barlow and I co-founded the Trees & Hills Comic Group; I’ve co-edited every Trees & Hills anthology since. I started publishing minicomics in 2005.
In the Summer of 2006 I started Colin’s Comix Distro, and by the Spring of 2007 it had grown into the Trees & Hills Comix Distro.
I was born in Keene, NH in 1977, attended the life-changing Mountain School program in 1994, graduated from Bard College in 2000, and lived in Portland, ME for a couple of years.
I have worked in a medical supplies factory, a hotel, a financial aid office, a greyhound track, a non-profit citizen action organization, a greenhouse, two green construction companies, and a real estate title abstractor. I have worked (very briefly) for an absent-minded Marxist professor with a filing system only he knew how to use, and I have, along with composer Jacob Feinberg, worked for a cross-dressing stonemason.
I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, available for weddings and other functions. Heck, I’ll DJ ‘em, too.
As obscure as some of my interests may seem, when you get down to it my favorite things in life are pretty basic, namely food & lovin’.
