I am a product/graphic designer, guerilla illustrator and inveterate doodler. If somebody made a movie about me, it would be called "Drawing in Bars with Boys"

I am interested in: sustainable design, music, travel, travel that involves music, reading, writing, cats/pets, wit, fun.

I like: drawing, ATC, music-related swaps, some writing-related swaps, tea, drawing apparatus (pencils, etc), insight into your world. I would much rather see your talent in your swaps than receive storebought stuff.

Want to visit: Korea, India, Vietnam, northern China, Brazil, Iceland, Russia, Antarctica!

Music is my other passion: rock and/or roll, indie, garage rock, power pop, punk, funk, skronk, junk, avant, alt country, trad country, classical, whatever. I'm big into Australian bands. You can see the inevitable band laundry list on Myspace.

That being said, I don't care much for chart pop, repetitive dance music, and christian rock.

Julian Barnes, Martin Amis, Chuck Klosterman, Rob Sheffield, Nik Cohn, Donald Hall, Tony Hoaglund, Thomas Frank, Faye Kicknosway, Wanda Coleman, Frank O'Hara, Walt Whitman.

House. 30 Rock. Loved Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared/Buffy when they were on.

Drawing (some sketchbook pages are on myspace), painting, printmaking, photography.

I like to make jewelry, using vintage or unique beads. I prefer to avoid using plastic beads.

I make artist dolls out of paperclay, but not dotees. Probably not going to do these for swaps. I can sew and embroider, and to a lesser extent crochet and knit, but the chances of me doing these things for a swap are pretty slim.

I like them all... they all have their place in the world.

I prefer items from a smoke-free home.

I do not like to receive religious items.

I prefer not to receive 'big name' licensed product (Disney, Marvel, Nickelodeon, the flavor of the month high-concept movie. etc.).
