My Profession: Illustration
About my work:
A cartoonist, illustrator and writer for twenty years and counting. Apparently I'm noted for an absurd and darkly humorous style. Currently I am adapting Frank Wedekind's LULU for comics, serialized in THIS SICKNESS, available at Amazon in print and for Kindle.
http://www.jlroberson.org/shop/index.html

I have been professionally published in the comics and magazine industry, both online and in print, for ten years. I also have a self-publishing imprint, Bottomless Studio, in existence since 1998. Past publications include the comics periodicals PLASTIC and THIS SICKNESS, as well as the noted benefit anthology WORKING FOR THE MAN.

I have designed advertisements, logos, characters, publications, and even a map. At odd moments, I've written, acted and directed for the stage.

I also sometimes write about film, comics, and politics.
