About Me

Disaffected state worker. In my spare time I collaborate on a self published comic called You Chose Right the First Time - crime story, 60's Chicago. I was born in the 60's but've never been to Chicago. I should go.Also organized an indie comics/zines/art convention called STAPLE! www.staple-austin.org which met with some success. As a result of that and a Chronicle article about the show I'm sometimes called Uncle Staple, or Dirty Uncle Staple.Note to bands: Unless I already know you or am a fan, I'm probably not going to add you. That's just how it is.Local Austin artists should check out the Austin Sketch Group: www.austinsketchgroup.comYou Are A: Duck !
Found in many lakes and ponds, ducks are a common site the world over. Known for their famous quack, ducks tend to congregate in flocks or go off on their own in pairs. As a duck, you may seem friendly at times but will not hesitate to bite if someone is bothering you. Your love for travel and your your short temper are some reasons why you are a duck.
You were almost a: Bear Cub or a Monkey
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a Bunny Cute Animals Quiz For some reason I find this hilarious:
