My Bio
I'm a freelance cartoonist/illustrator living here in Weird NJ. I'm a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. I've done several jobs for the DC Comics licensing department (the coloring books Batman: Swinging Into Action, Superman: Jailbreak! and Krypto the Superdog: Test Pilot Puppy). My work has also been featured on the websites Comic Book Resources, Comics Alliance, i09, Superpunch, The Dork Review, The Mary Sue, and The Aquaman Shrine.

Just logged in to DA for the first time in about two years. Sorry for all the comments and correspondence I've fallen behind on. I appreciate every one! To answer what seems to be a frequently-asked question, I'm not taking commission requests at this time. I'm doing a lot more writing than drawing these days, and that and my day job eat up most of my time. Thanks for the interest in my art, and if anything changes I'll let you know here. In the meantime, you can follow my writing over at AtomicJunkShop.com or in BACK ISSUE magazine from TwoMorrows Publishing. If you want to follow me on Twitter, you can find me under the handle "TrumbullCo

Hello again! Sorry it's been such a LONG time I've updated my journal on here, but I have some exciting news:  Next weekend I will be at the New York Comic Con for ALL FOUR DAYS of the Con, Oct. 10-13! I'll be sharing Table 1262 with my friend and fellow Line It Is Drawn artist Bill Walko ~BillWalko (https://www.deviantart.com/billwalko). Here's a sneak peek at all eight NEW prints I should have for sale: I'll also have a few left of some of my older prints, including: All prints (except for the Aquaman one) are either 11x17 or 11x14.  Prints will be $10 apiece, or 3 for $25.  I'll also be doing sketches as time & energy allows.  You can add us to your NYCC Show Planne

Yeah, I know the con is ACTUALLY running this entire weekend from 10/11-10/14, but I'll only be there on Thursday and Friday.  I'll be helping out at BOOTH 607 (Listed as Absolute Comics & Statues) all day from 3-9pm Thursday, 10/11 and and 10am-7pm Friday, 10/12.  I'll also be selling prints of some of the Line It Is Drawn pieces you've seen here on DA this year, stuff like: :thumb279050271:, :thumb290567334:, :thumb297178458:, :thumb319409978:, and of course the viral internet sensation :thumb327006067:. 11x17 prints are just $10 apiece, or 3 for $25.  Quantities are limited, so buy early and buy often! &

Do you do commissions?
Your artwork is absolutely sensational and hilarious. You are the fan boy's fanboy who can draw. Great stuff!
Thanks very much! I appreciate it!
You're more than welcome!
Hello John, Jake here! Glad you've got a dA page, I just added you to my watch! :thumbsup:
Thank you very much, Jake!
I would ask if you could do a LIID of One More Day, but considering how its so well known with out bad it it, might make the idea way too obvious to do lol
