About Me

Uh. Well. I live in Chicago, was born and raised in New Hampshire. I work in a coffee shop and make paintings. I'm 'sposed to be working on a comic book but have been slacking in that department. I'm messy. I can hula hoop and juggle at the same time (I think, I haven't owned a hula hoop in about a decade). I wish I had gone into zoology instead of art.
