About Me

If I were a comic book character, I'd be a cross between Lynda Barry's Maybonne character and Brian Wood's Local. I've lived at least nine lives. This one is becoming my favorite.I collect children's books (especially pop-up books) and vintage cameras.I love to travel and move around a lot, and I am feeling antsy because I've been in the same place for a whole three years.I miss my piano, my friends and family who have passed on and my childhood family dog, Tater. If I could be anywhere in the world, it would be Hoboken, NJ.
