These are great.

It's nice to know that, eventually, my awkward little drawings will one day get a little better and count as art.

You know how sometimes people say "That's not art I could do that" and then other people say "But you didn't!" which could be a good point unless the first person can reply, "But I still wouldn't!".

Then the other person could respond, "But that artist would."

Yeah, these would be okay web comics that I would click through for a while, but, as is almost always the case with comic styles, hanging it on a wall turns it into a blinding beacon of wank.

I bought his portrayal of The Rabbit (linky) print for The Rabbit in my life, and it came with a lovely, personalized hand drawn thank-you cartoon. Real class and thoughtfulness.

The Rabbit is double-matted, framed and hanging over our desks.
