Bio

Born in a gypsy compound (it was not a cult) just outside of Jacksonville, Florida, the youngest of 11, I was immediately recognized for my finger-painting skills. That led to eating crayons and glue, which then led to performance art, interpretive dance and finally, crime. It paid.
I design for pretty much all mediums. I tend not to play favorites.
One time I designed a sex-helmet for a rich old lady who lived as hermit in a mansion with many sunroofs. I had an accident while testing it, resulting in partial deafness in left ear and the removal of two toes. One on each foot. I was very proud of that project. Design challenges are like rainbows covered in candy sprinkles. I love them.
That’s pretty much it. Oh, but I am allergic to shellfish, so please don’t try to offer me shrimp or oysters as payment for my design services. Cash money will do just fine.
