Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
-Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

I am compiling stories for a future project about the horror of the customer service world. The art will pay tribute to one of my early heroes, Bill Mauldin. If you have any funny or simply unbelievable stories about the atrocities you have endured as a public servant let me know. There is a very good chance it will be published in this trade.

Join the masses.

LOOKING FOR COMICS?

Some of the material on this site may not be suitable for kids. If you are a parent looking for information on some of my all-ages comics, please reference the individual publisher information.

Please feel free to REGISTER if you have any thoughts on how I can make this site better. I will openly admit I am not a web designer. I am fortunately still in denial of the fact that I am not a cartoonist.

I will be updating this site as time permits.

Thanks again!

A nameless robot girl has recently been given the gift of life from her creator, while exploring the wonders of an ordinary world she meets an amazing mutant boy and they share a friendship that must overcome their warring families.

"This is great, I really like this." -Mike Mignola on Clockwork Girl (Hellboy)

Igor is a playfully irreverent comedy that brings a new twist to the classic monster genre. In a world filled with Mad Scientists and Evil Inventions, one talented evil scientist's hunch-backed lab assistant has big dreams of becoming a Mad Scientist himself and winning the annual Evil Science Fair.

Archibald Aardvark went insane after the brutal murders of his brother and friends. After spending five delirious years chewing on his tongue in a mental hospital, Archibald finds himself back on the spiraling streets of Tinsel Town.

“This book is like Tex Avery turned up to 15 on a system that doesn’t go past ten! It is truly one of the most original and entertaining books I’ve ever published!”
- Jim Valentino on Archibald Saves Christmas (Shadowline President)

“Archibald Saves Christmas is the delicious creation of Grant Bond and Dwight L. MacPherson; a comic murder mystery that combines the classic cartoon shorts of the 1930’s with the gritty stylings of a Film Noir, Archibald… is a veritable yuletide treat.”
- Mo Ali; Fractal Matter.com

In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beat of that steed,
And the midnight-message of Paul Revere.

“An impressive debut, well written, with an evocative art style.” -Alan Porter; RevolutionSF.com

"The concept just struck me as ingenious, and Grant's cartooning is lively and chock full of motion." -Tony Moore

REVERE REVIEW

CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING REVIEW OVER AT HERO SPY.

“In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear,
The hurrying hoof beat of that steed, and
the midnight message of Paul Revere.”

If you have read any of my comic reviews, then you know that originality scores high in my book; and ‘Revere’ is original. It’s fresh in so many ways I will have a hard time covering them all in this single article.

I had the chance to read Revolution In Silver Part 1 and 2 this evening. Typically since I am starting late, I would just go ahead and write a single review for both books, but ‘Revere’ is so good that I have decided to write it in two parts. Book one and two deserve equal consideration, I think.

If you are late in coming to this incredibly cool story let me catch you up. Part one of ‘Revere’ is set during the Revolutionary War. It is a turbulent and dangerous time for the colonies. The Redcoats are not only coming, they have arrived and bloodshed flows in their wake. But darker forces are at play within the confines of this battle. The forests are teaming with creatures of the night and the nations hope lies securely in the hands of a single man; Paul Revere.

BIO

READ ABOUT MY FORMATIVE YET FORMIDABLE YEARS.

I SPENT AN UNHEALTHY AMOUNT OF TIME as a kid glued to my drawing table. Guys like Jack Kirby, Bill Mauldin, Will Eisner, Jack Davis and Charles Schulz were my best friends and my biggest heroes. I remember the awe I felt in the expedience of the line work these guys had and made it a point to study their mark making. My love for sequential art was a driving force behind me for many years. The direction comics were heading in the early nineties was a downer for me to say the least. I simply stopped drawing comics but knew I would come back to it someday. My formal training went through many different avenues. I studied under Sergei Davydov for many years. He is an influential painter from Russia and Instructor of Fine Arts at several different colleges throughout the Midwest.

NOTEWORTHY QUOTES ON MY WORK

I HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME GREAT FEEDBACK FROM SOME VERY TALENTED PEOPLE. I AM GOING TO START SHARING.

“This book is like Tex Avery turned up to 15 on a system that doesn’t go past ten! It is truly one of the most original and entertaining books I’ve ever published!” - Jim Valentino on Archibald Saves Christmas (Shadowline President)

"This is great, I really like this." -Mike Mignola on Clockwork Girl (Hellboy)

"Your work is great. It is certainly not garbage." -Tony Millionaire (Maakies, Drinky Crow, Uncle Gabby, Billie Hazlenuts)

"Your work is brilliant. Really great art." -MC Serch

"The concept just struck me as ingenious, and Grant's cartooning is lively and chock full of motion. Visually there's not much I'd readily compare it to, and that's very refreshing in the endless sea of same-ol'-same-ol." -Tony Moore on REVERE (Walking Dead, Fear Agent, Exterminators, Battle Pope)

"The pages of ‘Revere’ are beautifully rendered; eye candy is the first phrase that strikes me. His artwork is flat out awesome." -Shawn Swanson; Hero Spy.com
