THE EYE DESTROYS!!!

but feel free to call me Ted! Coming sooner or later!!!

upside down you're turning me...

OCHO is appearing in a new mini comic anthology called MEANWHILE. The big debut happens on the Fourth of July at Samurai Comics on 7th street in Phoenix from 12pm to 4pm. I'll see you there!!!

my studio!

photo 1: my comic book collection thus far. lots of stuff, all read by me. favorite graphic novel: Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. i have two copies and a display pop out at the top right.

photo 2: my drawing table. i wish i had some more glamorous drawing at the table, but i don't and didn't think of it until it was too late. page 4 of blind mice 10!

photo 3: wall of shame/fame. i have a lot of loves. on this wall i have steve nash autographed photo, devin hester runnin' it back at opening kickoff of superbowl, autographed, a cubs sign, alex ross litho, a convention poster of a blind mice appearance in 2003, and the same star wars poster i had a youngster in my bedroom. cool or fool, i'll let you decide.

photo 4: noteboard. yes i can't remember it all. a picture of a skeleton one of my group home boys gave me years ago. wally wood and ivan brunetti both take stabs at 22 panels that always work. spider-man and a get out of jail free card. let me know if you need it.

5: computer. itunes, e-mail, websites, facebook, myspace, solitare, etc. it all goes down here!

6: walter payton. he was the man. my dad sold him a car and asked him to write me a get well autograph on the back of his business card. the next day 50 glossy, autographed 8x10s were delivered to my dad at the car dealership. wow!

7: doorway view.

8: ella, my lovely daughter. she's a diva!

photo 9: stacks. artwork to be framed, tones for the comic, paper, comics to be read and probably a lot of stuff i can't find and gave up on. i'm a little disorganized.

photo 10: excercise bike and junk pile. i have a pretty big house but we have a lot of stuff. sometimes this room is the warehouse to all the crap that we don't have time to deal with. just don't put it on my desk. i say this because it usually does get put on the desk!

photo 11: yeah, more crap. i had to put this long surfboard table in the office because i want the table to be free and ready to go. unfortunately, the desk to the left gets a lot of abuse. there's a bunch of markers in a pink puke tray my wife got at the hospital after a visit for gallbladder removal. they were gonna throw it away. i saved it. the musicians jamming in the back were bought with winnings at a local casino. my wife thinks they're tacky!

photo 12: to the right of the table. my practice drumkit. i'm a really good drummer, i kid you not. name a song and i'll rock out to it. used to be in bands and played shows. i miss rockin' out.
