We creative types think we’re so special. So special that we give our failures and faults the air of distinction — the collection of rejection letters, the social paralysis, the temper tantrums, the complete unreliability we fall into when in the grips of certain moods. We’re so special that there are “retreats” and “residencies” that [...]

Did you know I have a Tumblr? I do! It’s where I share little bits of the world that strike my fancy at the time. I’ll be rounding up my Tumblr posts at the end of the week to tell you a little bit more about what inspired me to post or reblog. TEXT: The [...]

I left the office about twenty minutes early today because my brain stopped working. I think it was just beginning to comprehend what happened in the past month. I started as Image Comics’ PR & Marketing Director on January 17, five weeks before Image Expo. Everyone was in a flurry of organizing — and I [...]

Cabal Jamie and I, like most teenage girls, were plotters. A joint operation on the Pellicci brothers resulted in success only for Jamie, in the sense that after a few months of dating, the younger Pellicci broke up with her over the phone. That’s how these things go, I counseled her at the time. We [...]

Grunge In the summer before my sophomore year, my best friend Jamie and I discovered grunge, god help us. I have to take some time here to write about Jamie because she was basically the most important person in my life from the ages of thirteen through sixteen. In adolescent years, this is an eternity.

It’s being Kickstarted, so please do what you can to support it and spread the news. We have only four days to meet the goall, and I’d really [...]
