"I love drawing. And writing. I love to do them both at the same time, one in each hand.  Technically, I've been a professional artist since I was four, because that was the first time I *sold* some of my art. That's all it takes! Talent and skill and practice and good timing and a team of marketer's willing to work for free burritos certainly helps too. I created and published my first comic book when I was twelve, and I made all my friends in junior high buy a copy.  I'm a big fan of all things humorous and/or animated. If it doesn't have jokes or talking animals, it's probably not for me. Or maybe it is. My taste can't be trusted.

Mostly I'm creative because it's fun, and because I get all cranky if I don't. 

​

I am so thankful for my supportive family and friends, who constantly encourage me and make me cups of tea that are almost exactly the way I like it. They remind me I can accomplish anything I want, even if I can't necessarily accomplish everything I want. So yeah, it's all their fault, those lovely weirdos.

I'm also permanently grateful to anyone who has ever read or enjoyed any of the things I've made - my wonderful fans and supporters make it possible for me to put pen to paper. You're awesome, and I love you forever.

​

If you want to hire me to draw or design something for you, have me talk at your school or library, ask a question you don't see an answer to anywhere, or anything else, please get in touch! I wanna hear from ya!
