I was born in 1976 . I make comic books– King city, Escalator, Universe so Big, Pillow fight, Perverts of the unknown and Multiple warheads (I’m working on that one now.)
I’m an American living in Van cougar BC Canada with my lady Marian Churchland – she draws better than me and classes up the joint. http://hchom.com/

I drew this on my 33rd Bbay.

Hi,
Just a fan from India wanting send you some thanks and a good word.
Im a big fan of King City as and when I can get a copy and read it (I have read the more recent few by downloads because waiting was too painful – but I do buy as much as I can afford of comics I enjoy!) and after visiting your blog learned about Multiple Warheads.
As a comic writer with only 2 one-shots out so far and my first series on the horizon, I want to say (no cheese intended) that you are an inspiration simply because you tell great stories in quite an unconventional way and still come out looking better then most of the safer approaches that we see week in and week out. And for me coming from where I do and writing odd-ball and unconventional comics for the market Im selling in, well… you get the idea I hope.
Thanks loads and I wait with bated breath for the next installment of King City and wish there could be so much more faster but having worked on the other side of the comic process I respect the effort and time it takes to make a good book.
Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.
Cheers!
Cool thanks a lot Akshay.
King city is all done now with 12 issues, I wont be offended if you download them from somewhere– I appriciate the nice words.
Brandon, I was a big fan of the original T’Pop KING CITY volume, overjoyed to see it come out and get completed through IMAGE, but have only just now – finally! – sat and read through the doozy of a dozen. And a grand monument it makes – filled with the sheer joy (and hard work!) of making comics pages. It has made for a pleasant afternoon and inspires in me a hunger to try harder. Hope Multiple Warheadz is not too far away now. I crave another fix. You are the punmeister. Thank you.
nice, I’m glad you liked them. I hope you like the new MW as much.
Just pulled Multiple Warheads out of the longbox for another read. I hope there’s more on the way.
yes much more on the way– and thanks
Hello,
Im a big fan from the uk just wanted to say I really like your work your art really inspires me!
Im finding it difficult too find quite a few of your books is there any places you can recomennd me too find them (If not no worrys)
I just love the world you create in your comics and love too actually get a copy of them too cherish
anyway keep up your amazing work I love it !
Thanks,
I’m not sure on where a good place to track my stuff down is right now.
I think it’ll be much easier to find when the new Multiple warheads starts up (hopefully early 2012 and when the King city collection comes out. so yes hopefully sooon.
Been a fan for a few years now. Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work and general legit interest you put into your work. Cant really keep up with series i enjoy as much these days with the place im stationed and all, but i order em online when i can. The blog keeps me pretty entertained and ive found alot of other great artist here.
-Keep on banging ink man
Hiyah!! I met you at ECCC…you drew a picture of a cat dressed in cos play as me. Made me squee…thanks again. I will let you know the results of the “my absolute-number-1-most-favorite-artist of ECCC 2012″ and yes, you are in the running.
nice. but don’t let me know if it’s not me.
I bought the King City TPB and man it’s so cool!!! I’ve read it a couple of times now and I like to browse the art for all the stuff going on the background. Great stuff, I want more
That photo is amazing, and I’m glad you like the book.
Man, I really like all of your photos, you’re doing such cool stuff.
Thanks! that compliment really puts a big smile on my face
Brandon, you’re my hero man. Your style is sweet, your stories are awesome, and your settings and characters are dripping with so much salty, sexiness that it’s intoxicating. I love your clean, graffiti-esque compositions and slow, deliberate (and nonsensical) story pacing. Everything about your work just feels clean and new, and that isn’t easy to do in comics. And then you’ve got all those sweet, succulent puns. They’re unpearalleled. Maybe they drive some people bananas, but they make this mango wild.
And congrats on the trade release of King City, btw. Everyone at SVA is just going nuts over it. Keep it up.
I made this for you, happy easter
Thanks a lot Peter.
You’re very nice also I like the eggs. (and Mango pun)
I got to hang out at SVA a little when some of the Meathaus guys were going there.
It seemed like a cool place. I got to meet Bakshi there.
SVA is a nice place for wannabe cartoonists for sure. I didn’t get to meet Bakshi, but I do get to listen to Gary Panter rant like a crazy person for about three hours a week. It’s great. U should come teach here. I will buy you a beer if you do. A beer and maybe a shirt that says ‘new york,’ maybe the shirt will even have the statue of liberty on it or a picture of a big apple, who knows? Anything goes down here.
Hey Brandon , gotta say love all your work, specially King City and Multiple Warheads but Prophet has gotta be one of the best comics I’ve read in years(and I’ve read a lot), I feel like a kid again when I read it, its so damned fun! Loving that Moebius/Metabarons strangeness with your own wildness mixed in hehe, dunno if you agree but thats all that I got. My words fail me. Forgive my lack of imagination. Anyways, one Prophet a month just ain’t enough! Can’t wait til the tradepapers come out. Be good.
Not going to lie. King City was one of the first comics I have ever read and I was blown away by its uniqueness. It inspired me to work on characters and comics. Now I been reading for 5 or more years and I was pretty happy. Happy to the point of imaginary parades going on everywhere I went when all of King City came out in one volume (not to mention sharknife 2 a few days later.) I have I few questions for you. You, my good sir, are in my top five comic book heroes.
What comics influenced you the most?
What music do you listen too while drawing?
and Any advice for amateur comic book artist?
Thanks Austin,
I put up a thing awhile back of my favorite top 12 comics.
http://royalboiler.livejournal.com/14118.html
I listen to a lot of rap while I draw (KRS-ONE, Rakim, Joell Oriz) & Faith no more.and a lot of audio books.
I think the main thing for me has been to think of what I do as my own thing and just do it for myself first.
Anyway, one of the best things about comics is that all you have to do to make them is make them.
Brandon
I just read Escalator, and really dug it. I’ve only read Prophet from you so far, so this was the first time I actually got to see your art. It was great, and I love all the different stories and worlds you created. From spray painting trains to werewolf penises, it had it all. Another nice touch, was your notes on all the stories and what inspired you to write them. As an aspiring comic book writer myself, it’s always great to see the process. I will definitely be picking up King City in the near future.
