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 both here and 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.
