My Name is Jeff DeClue. I am an aspiring artist, cartoonist and writer.

Day to day, I’m a Recruiter for an Engineering Consulting firm. It’s not a bad gig. I work with great people and we do good stuff.

But the thing is, I’d love to be doing something very different.

In an alternate reality, I’m a professional artist and writer. I draw a webcomic, and I do all kinds of illustration work — comics, storyboards, character concepts, t-shirt designs, album covers, and occasionally I create logos. I write said webcomic, other comics, short stories, television and film scripts, and there’s also a novel or two slowly creeping out of my head.

This site, mellomoose.com, is the portal between these two realities.

I blog here, though I’m still trying to find my voice. I’ve got a couple of galleries of artwork for you to check out. I display my “Doodles” here — sketches and scribbles that seep from my brain and leak out through my hand. I’m trying to find a webcomic in my melon for us. A book too.

The idea is to use this portal to bring out the stuff I’m passionate about from my fantasy world into the real world so I can really for reals be all the things I want to be known for.

I have managed, for brief moments, to be the guy from the alt world. I’m responsible for this logo. I’ve done artwork for Dread Zeppelin, and Tortelvis’s and Butt-Boy’s side project, Groovy Lemon Pie. I designed a monster for an independent horror film… not sure what’s going on with that.

I’m trying to get a FAQ going and I need some questions, so if you could help out with that… Yeah, I know, a compelling reason to ask questions would he nice.

You can email me or leave a voicemail at my Google Voice number and free stuff can be sent to my P.O. Box [cough]Wacom Cintiq[/cough] — info for all here.

I hope you enjoy the site. And hey, I am available for projects — hit me up if you like my stuff.

Thanks.
