| Introduction | I'm a jill of all trades at my place of employment. Mom to a great little guy, wife to a faboo man. Can go off into tangents in a blink of an eye. An unabashed Anglophile, coffee addict, collector of all kinds of crap. I have been MS's (Multiple Sclerosis) bitch since 2000. So I tend to walk like a drunken pirate. I would like to meet people, who like me, are slaves to their art or at least acting like one. I'm mostly an illustrative designer, doing print work, exhibits etc. Bitching about clients, hoarding fonts and talking about the old days of exacto blades and wax is part of my milieu. I also like to use words like "milieu". |

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:
Once upon a time, a bald frog was loitering about in a wig shop. There was a most glorious wig! When he put it on, he felt taller, he looked so handsome. He didn't have money, so he stole the wig. As he was sneaking out, a horse and carriage ran him over. So children, steal something and we'll be picking you up with a spatula. The End.
