I'm a musician, artist, nerd and web project manager from Dublin, Ireland. I created and run the webcomic Garfield Minus Garfield. It has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Rolling Stone Magazine and The Washington Post.
I also received a publishing deal and wrote Garfield Minus Garfield the book.
