Incorrigible photo snapper.

Illustrator. Printmaker. Book artist and book maker. Every 3 years I seem to turn up at PBI ( Paper & Book Intensive !). At PBI 2005 I learned how to be a MAD SCIENTIST!!! Thanks, Dr. Spelker.

Sometimes I mutter things in my livejournal .

You should learn more about The Strangeness of Maine !!! I insist.

I am fascinated by abandoned sites, strange woods, creeping fogs, and all things spooky. Got a tip for a trip? You should tell me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Wish I could have met Edward Gorey (silly me, thinking he would live forever). Other long lost wish-I-could-meets are Bela Lugosi, Ed Wood, Charles Addams, and William Castle.

"REAL" PEOPLE: It would be nice to meet up with longtime e-mail friends like JP, Steve, Josh, Craig, Chip, et al. If Daven Delidle showed up that would be ducky.
