Cast of Characters
Hand drawings are of the first time I ever drew the characters, second are the cg versions. Click on thumbnails for full pictures.

Veronica, 21
One of the main characters. She likes emo music and wants to be a writer. Veronica currently tutors April and is single.
Jane, 20
The other main character of the story. She like punk bands until they become famous. Jane currently works at a bookstore in the mall and is dating Shaun.
Shaun, 20
Shaun is in a band, although there is no mention of it ever, and I can't draw instruments, so I doubt the band will ever be featured. He's just in one because I say so.
Derek, 19
Derek is in Shaun's non-present band. He is completely obsessed with sex, and constantly bothers Veronica. Not for sex, just in gerneral.
April, 17
April is a poseur. She works at the Hot Topic in the mall. Her original name was Courtney, but she changed it when she found out that "Avril" meant "April" in French. Guess who her idol is.

Pseudo Guest art by Steven
This kid rocks! He posts on the Angry People forum, and asked if anyone wanted him to draw anything. I asked if he could draw me, and he did, but I'm holding a Jaded Dreams sign. So I put it up here. I love this picture.

Chibi art by Jenn
I met Jenn of DnDorks on the Life's So Rad forum, and she checked out the JD forum. I said something like "chibi is so cute, but I suck at drawing it," and she drew me! Yay! Its the chibi version of the fan art by Steven.

Jaded Dreams Web Forum
I would love to have one of the phbb forums, but I don't have the time to figure it all out, so this will have to do for now. :)

History of John & Colleen
I did a wedding package for my senior project, kinda like a wedding in a box. Besides all the normal stuff you'd find at a wedding (dress, favors, table setting, etc) I did a history book of "The Loving Couple," using myself and my fiancee as the example. Over ten pages I drew out our years together in comic book format. If you look through it, you'll notice less art and more words as you get further into the story. Well...lets just say that I was pressed for time. Heh.

Guest Comics by Me
These are some of the comics I've done for other people. (3) Enjoy!
