I am the Director of Make More Comics, a soon-to-be non-profit organization based right here in Pittsburgh, PA. Originally founded by William Hoffknect in California to help fund fledgling cartoonists, we hope to grow the organization to provide workshops, lectures, and offer an expansion of the grant program. Below are some process photos that led to this final version.

The first digital sketch I sent while sitting on the floor of a hotel hallway between moves. This was approved, and the final version was drafted within the week.

In designing this logo, I wanted to give homage to my hometown (New Deal, Texas, which is mostly cotton fields and open horizons), the name I was mistakenly given when working as a DJ (I was going by DJ Seppe from Guiseppe, and he just misread it as Steppe), and to the cartooning of George Herriman (who would regularly have his characters peaking over horizon lines from the foreground).
