His comix have been published in internationally distributed books, periodicals & anthologies such as Robert Crumb’s “Weirdo,” Russ Kick’s “The Graphic Canon,” Darius James’ “That’s Blaxploitation,” Thomas Waugh’s “Montreal Main,” Fantagraphics Books’ “Pictopia,” Kier-La Janisse’s Spectacular Optical “Satanic Panic,” & France’s “Hopital Brut” for Le Dernier Cri. His award winning animated film “Goopy Spasms” has toured the festival circuit globally & he continues to create cartoon shorts. He’s been a singer-guitarist for post-punk band “The American Devices” since 1980, which he co-founded. Two collections of his autobiographical comix “Represented Immobilized” (featuring an intro by author Heather O’Neill) & “The Rick Trembles Weakly Dispatch” (featuring an intro by Robert Crumb) are available from Conundrum Press. He frequently archives his work at his website snubdom.com. The L.A. Times has called him “A famous free thinker,” The Guardian has called him “Genius,” & Robert Crumb has called him “Even more twisted & weird than me.”
