Kids Playing with Skulls: the Art of Kirk and Cara Sheppard

I grew up in Kingston Ontario, and now I live in beautiful Victoria, BC with my husband, Kirk , and our cats, Chaos, Jerry and Monkey.
I have lots of tattoos and am planning lots more. I'm also a member in good standing of the National Tattoo Association.
I'm vegan - I love to cook yummy vegan meals for carnivores (and for me & Kirk - the cats eat regular cat food).
In May 2005 Bat Baby Design put out The Tattoo Colouring Book through Trafford Publishing

My Interests

I love books the most - big or tiny, colourful, handmade especially - mass market pocket books are the end of the world as we know it...
I'm an avid knitter, papercrafter, seamstress and tattoo-collector
