the preview:
the rokumentary:
I love music. playing music, promoting music, seeing live music. I go to shows at least once a week. I draw rad pictures. I love cartooning. I love caricature and portraiture. I make comics sometimes. I hang with people who make the rok AND the roll... and I am ready to KICK OUT THE JAMS.
Here's what a few folks are saying about the Stef:
I can see Stef dolls, lunchboxes, alarm clocks... Stefmania!
- caz (the alco)
Yeah, seriously, Stef is an underground sensation.
- thegreatjoebivins
She's like that evil slime from Ghostbusters II. Not that she's gonna be helping a painting kidnap babies or anything - just that the slime was pretty awesome.
