# About me

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool comic nut, who loves to draw, read and travel. When there's time I also love RPGing Palladium system games.

I have a background in animation, and currently work with Brain Power Studio in the design department. I'm also a freelance writer and children's book illustrator.

I'm crazy for extreme creative challenges and love the intensity of the events. I've enjoyed taking part in Scott McCloud's 24 Hour Comics Day challenge seven times and participated in John Campbell's Hourly Comics Day event three times. I've done the NaNoWriMo challenge twice, finished once and killed myself on the Three Day Novel Contest twice as well.

I run the monthly Comic Jam in Ottawa, ON Canada. If you're ever in town, feel free to drop by on the last Wednesday of the month at the Shanghai Restaurant (651 Somerset St. W.) 7pm-9:30pm (except December!)

Hiya Ray! It was sooo nice you could drop by the Jam last night ^__^
Thanks for the compliments! I've been behind posting here..sigh--must--catch--up! It was a blast doing the Hourlies; I'd only found out about them last year, 20 days _after_ the challenge started (oops!) So, I was determined to 'give it a go' this year...
Am really loving your work: I had good memories of your stuff from College, which of course was mostly black & white back then (we were animating!) Now it's all lovely, vibrant colour with very expressive poses & characters. Nice going!

i look forward to seeing some great stuff on your page!
