Vince was born in the same western Pennsylvania town as Perry Como. He spent his youth doodleing in his schoolbooks and notebooks and still managed to graduate high school. After escaping high school he ran off to West Virginia where he went to college for the next four years. He studied art and got his comic strip "OH-NO" published for the first time. He also met the woman who would become his wife. In 2003 he graduated with a B.A. in Art from Davis & Elkins College and entered the crazy world of convienence stores and retail camera shops. This took most of his time keeping him from OH-NO. Come 2007 Vince landed himself a "NORMAL" job. He now works in an office building and has weekends and evenings. So with this new time, he has sharpened his pencils, cleaned his pens and bought some new ink and bristol board. So starting in June 2007 OH-NO will update every Thursday night (Friday morning)with a brand new comic and will update with a Classic OH-NO every Tuesday Night (Wednesday Morning). Vince isn't just going to rest with just a web comic either, over the coming months he will be submiting OH-NO to magazines newspapers and Philadelphia area periodicals. Vince now lives in the Philly Burbs with his wife Lorin.
About the Comic 
OH-NO was originally drawn as the exclusive comic for the Davis & Elkins College Senator (my college paper)and is now reserected as a weekly webcomic and should also start appearing in print too. OH-NO is a single panel comic that has an everchanging cas and might not allways be single panel. It just depends how I feel. OH-NO is always drawn by hand with Pen & Ink and then it is scanned digitaly and recieves its color on my macintosh.

Q. HOW DO YOU MAKE OH-NO?
A. I start by writing an idea down, on the back of a reciept, a post-it note what have you. If the idea survives it gets placed in the sacred sketch book. If the sketch is picked, well then I draw it onto a 11"x9" piece of bristol board with a Dixon #4 Pencil. I then ink it with a speed ball pen and I use a sharpie fine for the border and sometimes a sharpie ultrafine for lettering. I erase the pencil after it has dried and then scan it into my Mac. I use Photoshop 5 to color it and Graphic Converter to make it web ready. And thats it. Hmm, this looks like a big crunny comercial. Well if you are the makers of these fine products, and want to pay me to link to you, just e-mail me. He He He.
