About the Eppies

The Eppies were created while I was attending the Savannah College of Art and Design.  I love nature and decided that I wanted to create some creatures based off of science and nature.

The word Eppies derives from the word Epiphyte, which is kind of like a cousin to a parasite.  Parasites feed off of a host organism but epiphytes live in harmony with their host, drawing nutrients from air and water.  I loved that relationship, and created little creatures based off of that concept.  I did lots of sketches and eventually decided on the characters that you see. 

Currently the Eppies have two books, and one Anthology appearance.  The Web-comic started on July 20th 2007, currently my life has been overwhelming so i have not created new pages for some time.  In the near future the “Parables of an Eppie” web-comic will be up and running again.

Thank you for the support and hope oyu enjoy the Eppies!  JOIN the EPPIEDEMIC!
