About meHm-mmm...about me.

I'm 26 years old. I graduated from Syracuse University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Computer Graphics and am pursuing an art career. I'm primarily interested in illustration. In fact, I'm available for freelance work if you're interested. As far as a permanent job goes, ideally I would love to illustrate children's books, hence the growing number of them in my library.

Other possible career options for me include cowgirl, intergalactic smuggler, penguin wrangler, and pirate. Arrr.

About my libraryI've been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I'll read just about anything, though I definitely prefer fiction over non-fiction. Lately I've been trying to throw "classic" book in among my various reading subjects in an attempt to balance things out and fill in any gaps in my literary learning. I worked at Barnes & Noble for a bit, so my library grew a lot then due to employee discounts, and within the past few years a decent portion of my books have come from used book sales. My family jokingly refers to my books as "the library" because whenever one of my younger siblings was assigned a book for school there was a good chance that I already had it.

I've also slowly been amassing a collection of various art books as well as illustrated books (especially those of the fairy tale variety). It's handy to have those books around for inspiration and research purposes.

I tend to obsess over fairy tales and mythology. I especially like reading and re-reading different versions of fairy tales, with Beauty and the Beast and its many variations being of special interest.

And all of those Star Wars books? I'm a dork. ;)

I definitely have not added all of my books here yet, but some are packed away in boxes that I just can't get to at the moment. If memory serves correctly, most of the stuff packed away in boxes are books from when I was younger, so at least they're not anything I need to get to right away.
