How about a brief introduction?
I’m an ex-illustrator, now doing art and book art full time. At some point when i was doing kids book illustration I realized that my ideal job would be making picture books for adults. That’s what I do now.
What’s your goal before the year 2010 ends?
Hmmm. I’m not much of a goal-setter. I do hope I end the year filled with inspiration and energy on the brink of a new book art project.
What’s your biggest fear?
My biggest fear has happened, and I don’t talk about it. And I am a bit superstitious about talking about my 2nd biggest fear because it might happen, so we’ll leave that one alone, too. but my 3rd biggest fear? That’s easy — being bored! I just HATE being bored!
What’s your favorite tool?
A tiny, beautiful folding knife I bought in Italy. I keep it on my keychain and every once in a while I actually use it. I’m always completely gratified that it’s not just decorative!
Share something random with us!
I used to live in a ghost town in Northern British Columbia. No road access, no electricity, no running water, it was perfect. And then, for true love I moved away. And that was perfect, too.
