CHIAROSCURO was picked up in 2007 and published through IDW Publishing in both hardcover and trade paperback editions. My second book, ANGORA NAPKIN was published as a hardcover in 2009 with IDW and was nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award (Best Publications for Teens) in 2010. ANGORA NAPKIN was also developed as an animated pilot for Teletoon, Canada. The cartoon was broadcast Halloween night in 2010.</span> <br></span></font>
