About Me

...Grew up in The Deep South of the U.S. of A. but now reside in the invigorating and energetically relaxed city of Berlin, Germany. ...Am perhaps best described as an extroverted introvert - alternately an absorbed recluse and a gabby social butterfly - depending on... I don't know... - the weather? - the positions of the planets? - the movements of birds and rats in Malta? Oh, and I like: singing high notes; reading, on occasion, the writings of e.e.cummings, Sylvia Plath, Rainer Maria Rilke, Christian Morgenstern, John Steinbeck, etc...; music videos by Spike Jonz, Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, and Floria Sigismondi; comics released by Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly, and various others of this ilk; the feel of the tip of a pencil moving across paper; communing with critters - most especially, but certainly not exclusively, ferrets, cats, and birds; visiting territorial little tropical fish who give me dirty looks from their patch of sand and coral when I snorkel down to inspect them more closely; zoning out while walking alone along long stretches of beach; and long conversations with people who have a creative intellect combined a lively sense of humour...

My Blog

Art Chain Stuff! (add your own version!)

MySpace and being superficial...

...My MySpace Friends list keeps growing, slowly but surely, and I'm beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed; I can't keep up with things anymore. My "stamp collection" is getting out of hand, and I'm won...

Occasional Mermaid-ness

...This alter ego of mine (the mermaid) has called herself Laura Lei in the past, but continues to consider the possibility of a more appealing tag in the future. Her appearances are rather rare, but ...
