When not working on my comic I am a freelance graphic designer. I mainly draw and design custom t-shirt art for a variety of local clients. As a freelancer I have created alot of logos, print stuff like posters, brochures, business cards,etc and a couple websites. I occasionally write creative blog posts, I edit small drawing or creative videos and play World of Warcraft (trust me, trying to down a 70 lvl raid boss solo with an 80 lvl toon is an art form - don't let any noobs tell ya it's not )

That's about it for me :)

Aside from cartooning, what else that you do is also art related?

Aside from cartooning and the occasional venture with portraiture sketching I do fine woodworking using a band saw, table saw, wood lathe, and whatever else normally found inside a small carpentry shop. I normally work with exotic hardwoods and turn out custom picture frames, jewelry boxes, and whatever captures my fancy from a design standpoint. Although I have built furniture and cabinets I find large items like that to be a pain in the arse to work with. For this past month I have been crafting picture frames to hold 11" by 14" paintings that my wife produces using oil pastels on press board.

She paints them and I frame them and then get custom cut glass for them from a little shop just down the street from where I live. We have been giving them to her high school senior students as graduation gifts.

It's been months since I've done any wood carving. When I do I sometimes produce 'in the round' funny caricature pieces or classic decorative acanthus leaf works. Sometimes I will do some chip carving design work and sometimes just let myself go with an abstract 'in the round' piece.

i dont do much art outside writing and cartooning, but i can tell you some nice ways it has affected our brian develepment as a species. its said that because we started art (besides protein and such ) that we were able to develop our own culture, and think in a way many our our own bretheren ( neaderthals, ext. ) were not. who would of thought that those scratches of stone and wall paintings did so much for us? :D
