About Me

A Sicilian-blooded, fiery-tempered, workers' rights and peacenik activist, snarko! has been a loud-mouth online tradition since 1993. Don't expect quarter; you'll have none.
Displaced, or placed by angels (you decide) to Texas, snarko! has formerly worked as Net Sensei for Imagine Media, environment and "off the grid" guru of Eco-Wise, helped several candidates trying to restore Democracy using her graphic design super-powers, and currently works whoring art supplies to non-artists that ask her what the right color is, when there is none.
snarko!s art consists of delighting and destroying every local art venue, with or without visual commentary: she is one of few to enjoy rules named after her.
In her spare time she likes to make art, cook veggies, and play with her kitty meow-meows, Vicious and Faye-Faye (both girls) and their new fuzzy friend Thomas.
She also likes to talk about herself in third person.
