Coswell Productions

My name is John Bintz. I am a Web programmer by trade, and a cartoonist in my spare time. I’ve been programming computers for a very long time, and have recently become involved with Open Source software development. I specialize in scripting languages such as Ruby, Perl, and PHP, as well as with database-driven Web development, but that doesn’t mean I can’t branch out into other areas of development.

I am also an experienced cartoonist. I am currently working on writing, drawing, and self-publishing an all-ages graphic novel titled “A Moment of Clarity,” and I have been involved in a number of animation productions, both for fun and for profit. I’ve been drawing almost as long as I’ve been programming computers, and I’m not stopping anytime soon.

Instead of throwing up a bunch of links to friends, cohorts, and things that I enjoy on the sidebar, I’m going to throw them here, in no particular order:
