I started the comic Ceph in June 2001. It began as just a fun project to keep me drawing and give me more experience with the comic format., one which I had not worked with since high school (around 1995). When it started, it was fairly directionless and experimental, but as it went on it began to take form. It has currently been put on hiatus for retooling because as it evolved I slowly began to realize that it could be publishable, but only if I sacrificed all the work I had done to the great editorial blade. The basic premise and characters are the same for v.2 and most of the later pages will remain relatively unchanged. I have left the old version up, despite any embarrassment I may have for my earlier work, because I still find it interesting to look back on its evolution.

Ceph is a story that takes place in the far future. The human race actually managed not to kill themselves off and evolved into...something else, and during the course of history, Ceph has been there the whole time. Ceph is a member of an ancient alien race, who came to Earth well before our ancestors crawled out of the oceans. As homo sapiens evolved, the aliens became aware of their growing sentience. They decided to create an avatar that would interact with humans and feed that information into their massive collective mind. Ceph was created with one intent, to be as human as it--he or she, can be. But as humans changed so did the Ceph, forming an ancestral line as old as the human race itself. This story is about the last of the Ceph to live on our planet, because 30 million years in the future, the Earth is doomed...
