If
you ask me to my face, the answer you're most likely to get is: "I'm
Batman." Well, the truth is, I am not Batman (at least not as far as you
know), but I do like to DRAW Batman. And many other super-heroes. And fantasy
characters. Like chicks in chaimail, with swords. And chicks out of chainmail,
for that matter. And monsters. Okay, really, I just like to draw.
I also like to game. I have played role-playing games since longer than I can
remember, starting with D&D when I was like 11. I also like card games,
board games, strategy games, wargame, and computer games. To me, one of the best
parts of gaming is the social interaction...just getting together and hanging
out with friends.
One of the other best parts of gaming is the TOYS. All the little plastic and
metal miniatures, playing pieces, game cards with color artwork on them...it is
all just so cool. That is a big part of what this site is about...my desire to
make cool toys that gamers can use while they are playing games.
These days, I live in Michigan (where I have lived most of my
life...originally from Wisconsin) with my dog Bailey (half beagle, half....um,
dinosaur, maybe?) and my cat Squeaky (well, my ex-girlfriend's cat Squeaky, but
she liked me better). I spend my time drawing (imagine that), gaming (again, big
surprise), and running this business selling my Gaming Bits and artwork here on Ebay. When I am not doing those things I like going to sci/fi -
action movies, and playing the occasional round of Disc Golf when the weather is
nice.
