About Me


High energy/low drama. Likes adventure, challenges, and playing with ink and paper. Self-aware (ish), independent (very) and exuberant. Playful. Gracious with an inappropriate sense of humor. Mad booty shakin' skillz. An extrovert who needs frequent solid chunks of ‘me’ time in order to replenish the social reserves.

My theme for this year seems to be Do More Art. I'm trying to split my energy between making my (awesome) community a more encouraging environment, and reaching out to other artistic folks/communities. Ending my career as a freelancer and starting to work for The Man (boo! hiss! wait ... steady paycheck?) makes pursuing creative endeavors that much more important.

For fun and moola I do graphic design and illustration.
Now selling oddly illustrated buttons at prickie.com
