About Me

I love the fact that our brains are bigger than the whole world and everything in it. If it exists, we can fit it in there, and if it doesn't, we can make it up and still have plenty of room left for the undiscovered and uninvented. I think that what I value most in the whole world is stories. Anything that makes those stories better is on my list too -- like pictures and music, different ways to tell a story, or show it. I like to read stories and listen to them and watch them, but I also like to tell my own and illustrate them. I write, draw, and paint and am never happier than when I'm filling in the colors of an elaborately detailed sketch. My most frequent model has been my tyrannical old cat, but animals of all kinds -- either real or devised in my fit-everything-in-there imagination -- are most frequently the source of my inspiration. Oh, did I mention I'm diabetic?
