About meI'm an artist, a coffee addict, and a geek.

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 geek. ;)
