prof lee walks around the round earth, waits
for a bus on the street in the middle
of the night. prof lee walks through a new england
winter and peers up into the starry sky. then peers upward
and he is a younger self trying to sleep in a little cell
of a room, missing his parents. not able to deal with the
passage of time? prof lee walks along the shore and sees
a younger self? prof lee sits in a chair, stares blankly
at the walls. patterns. dust motes in the sunlight. floaters
in his own eye. the faulty body wanders among city
lights. a sense of bodies flying past, indistinct. hallways.
a circular, subterranean labyrinth. faces. hands and arms
reaching around. golf balls. magnifying glass. keyhole.
cloud. hovering among trees. lights, rooms, enclosure.

a cover design for Contradictions (Mosun), a novel by Korean author Yang Gui-Ja, translated by Stephen Epstein and Kim Mi-Young. this book comes with my highest and highly biased recommendation. thanks and hellos to Michael Shin and Karen Smith. click here for more information

this is the cover image for my first comic book. it was done in somewhat of a rush in august of 2002 

this comic originally appeared in The Comics Journal Special, the 2005 issue devoted to manga. if you can't quite read the text in the comic, well, i figure that could serve as an incentive to seek out the hard copy. in this particular issue, a variety of cartoonists were asked to contribute comics on the theme of seduction. also, there's an essay on an artist i especially admire: yoshiharu tsuge. thanks to gary groth and matt silvie
