Hi.

This is the part of the website where I blind you with the glory of my accomplishments. But first! A little bit about me: I am from Iowa. I live in New Orleans. I am one of the few people living who both grew up in a cult and ran away with the circus. If the cult was only a harmless, quasi-Hindu sect that meditates for world peace and the circus was only a punk rock freak-show featuring nudity and machetes that I didn't even perform in because I was too busy selling Noam Chomsky books, well then I don't think I can be blamed. It is only true. 

Anyway. I am in a band called Ixnay, formerly known as The Leah Quinelle All-Stars Featuring  Happy. I illustrated the choose-your-own-adventure on that website, which you should not look at unless you are older than 18 and have a high tolerance for dirty words. I have been working with the New Orleans Bookfair for the past four years, and made the poster graphic for the Bookfair 2008-2011. The books to which I have contributed illustrations include Stories Care Forgot, The Chainbreaker Book, and Take Me Out to the Dog Park. I have contributed to many zines, including, but not limited to Full Gallop, Chihuahua and Pitbull, Chainbreaker, Cornfed Hussy, Y'eard Me and Feast Comics Anthology. My client list also includes Beth's Books, Garrett County Press, Factory Direct Zine Mail Order, The Vedic Yagya Center, Fitzgerald Letterpress, Louisiana Books to Prisoners, White Rabbit Gallery, Antigravity Magazine, The New Orleans School of Art and Craft, Willamette Week, Skimmer Studio, The Raging Pelican, Printer's Devil Review and others.

I have had pictures shown at the following locations in Louisiana:
Mimi's in the Marigny
Du Mois Gallery
Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center
The Candle Factory
723 Louisa St (Digest)
Baton Rouge Gallery
Lost Love Lounge
Abercrombie Gallery at Mcneese State University

I also make drawings and paintings on commission!
I am also an EMT.
