About me

Ever since I was a teenager, I had a love for

cartooning. But God had to develop my skills

and maturity over the years. He allowed me

to find love for graphic novels and fiction writing while waiting for Polycarp at the Hermitage to emerge.

​

I live in the mountains of eastern Washington State with my wife Jennifer who... well... raises puppies! She has her own dream happening and we live a very simple life. She gets to develop a wonderful breed of non-wolfy dogs while I get to hold and pet the puppies. What a deal!

​

My books and graphic novels are available on Amazon under my name or pen name Gabriel Paulson.  But my real love is cartooning.

 

Hope you subscribe to my work. It all adds to my other dream of living a contemplative life.
