# About me

I was raised in the wilds of the south. Lightning storms and hurricanes created the playpens of my youth, and in the summers, I used to spend all of my time dodging horseflies in a golden river, catching fish and snakes with my bare hands, swinging from vines, and falling out of magnolia trees.

In the dawn of my adolescence, my family took me on a journey across the United States, from the white sands of Pensacola, FL, to the razor’s edge of the Hell’s Backbone in Utah. We finally landed in Marin, CA, where lotus eaters tried to make city folk out of us (but miserably failed.) I currently live in Kyoto, Japan, working as a writer and dream-smith.

I am always on the lookout for artists and illustrators, as I may in the future be looking for commission work. If you design book covers or do comic art, that's another plus. I also have a severe weakness for vintage style art, ranging from childlike to pin-up. I love fantasy art that has a softness to it; bulging muscles and sweaty skin are sort of reminiscent of bargain books at my local comic book store.

Hahah, they're so easy, it's ridiculous. I also apparently posted that recipe to torture myself (been gluten-free for a week). Lol.

I love your mermaid series, seriously. So beautiful.

Hi! I have seen that you watched me and faved 5 of my drawings. See, I have a raffle started and those are two of the rules to enter, did you want to join? I tell you this because there are two other rules that are not followed by you (in case...)

PS: Your work is amazing
