My Bio
Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet?
People who think the word is 'addicting.' It's 'addictIVpE,' folks. We used to all know that sort of thing, before the Internet.
Name one thing you worry about running out of.
Paper. Or maybe bagels.
What song do you hate the most?
That One Direction song a drunk friend was trying to remember at a party. Best Song Ever, or something stupid like that.
Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head?
No, I can't really remember how it goes. But I know I hate it.
Where did you last go on vacation?
A theme park for five days. Best vacation EVER.
What is your best physical feature?
Not my eyes. Which are UP HERE, in case you were distracted by something else.
What are your favorite sayings?
“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.” I excel in this.
What do you do when no one is watching?
Dance in my chair.
If they made a movie about your life, what actor/actress would be you?
Someone with pink hair, a great rack, and an endless supply of integrity. I guess it would be an anime, then.
Coffee or Tea?
That's not even a question. Booze.

Today I finished "Reindeers Are Better Than People" after a few days of nonstop, and very hard, work. It was suggested that it could make it onto a certain tee site this week if finished on time (and if judged acceptable), so I scrambled. Left the kids to the husband for the weekend and ignored everything else around me (except Clash of Clans). Poured every ounce of myself into my work, which I love more than anything (don't tell my kids I said that). Drank a lot of booze and coffee, smoked a lot of cigarettes, tried to remember to eat actual nutritious food regularly, and sat bleary-eyed in front of a screen for hours on end. There's nothin

Another long hiatus

Again, it's been years. I've finally found my true calling and taken up typography and tee design for (hopefully) a living. The amount of work I've been turning out lately is nothing short of prolific. After a bipolar diagnosis almost two years ago, I seem to have finally sorted out the right balance of medication and therapy for me, and it would appear I can live a relatively productive life this way. At any rate, it's a busy week ahead - a deadline in 1 week for which I want to submit 3 or 4 pieces, none of which are done yet. Some of which are not even started. Gah.
Back to work now... Enjoy the new stuff.

Hey there stranger, it's been a while.

Really, a long time. Last time I did anything on DA I had just barely left America. Ouch.
Anyway, after a new country, a new baby, two houses, huge culture shock, and a long period of adjustment to a life I never quite imagined having, I'm trying to weasel my way back into the art world. My partner tells me that, well, I used to be pretty good at this stuff and I shouldn't stop. So I'm giving it a shot again, and I'm really rusty. My scanner doesn't work right now because, well, it needs a new print cartridge (yeah, that makes just as little sense to me, and I own the damned thing). So for the time being, I'm going to be PHOTOGRAPHING
