In 2005, Jesse received the Xeric Grant to publish two issues of the Backwards Folding Mirror. His comic strips ran in the late-great Philadelphia Independent, and then for a year and 1/2 in the Philadelphia Weekly. During this time he began work on a thicker volume of material based on the Backwards Folding Mirror characters. The book was completed in 2008 and is titled, Follow Me. Currently, Jesse is working on an epic sci-fi series called Forming, which he posts on his website every Thursday. His work has also appeared in the Meathaus and Canicola anthologies.
