Online GalleriesComic StripJunk: A Rock OperaSnow Studios
When I am not busy being immortalized as a farmer's daughter in the comic book pages of Galaxy Quest (see right), or working in my painting studio, I'm at home drawing and graphic arting. Currently, I'm working on a couple of graphic novels, one an adaptation of the comic strip/singles column "True Confessions of An Online Dating Addict" the other is top secret so don't ask... seriously, I told you not to ask :) I'm also working on some set design for the spring off Broadway production of "Junk, a Rock Opera."*
*I'll post some pics when it's finished!
