dazzel with brilliance, baffle with bullcrap

About Me

I'm a portrait painter, illustrator, rabblerouser, record label chick, and do gig posters sometimes too. It was already decided for me at age 2 that I'd become and artist, and I've never complained. My parents said their worst fear was that I'd grow up to be an accountant -- funny -- you'd think they would have said stripper or crack whore.
