Bonnie Burton's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm an author, editor, journalist, craftster, blogger and geek grrl as well as the founder of the pop culture site Grrl.com.
Author of the books:
Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Klutz); Girls Against Girls: Why We Are Mean to Each Other and How to Change (Orange Avenue Publishing), You Can Draw: Star Wars (DK Publishing) (the book's You Can Draw Star Wars Myspace Page).
 
 
My writing is in the women's comic anthology The Girls' Guide to Guy's Stuff published from Friends of LuLu. Previously, I published a book called Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs. You can read more about the book here at Best of Blogs on Myspace.
I've also written for the magazines: BUST, Geek Monthly, Star Wars Insider, Wired and Organic Gardening.
  
I hosted two video podcast shows (for the Web Waste channel on the @Home Network site) called "Ask Bonnie" and "Ask @Sock." I was also a VJ for the music video shows "Teletunes" (Denver) and "Subculture" (San Francisco). Sometimes I end up on TV as a "pop culture media pundit" for CNN, E! and BBC. I'm featured in Entertainment Weekly magazine (Oct. 13, 2006) for my Bettie Page fandom.
My dayjob is writing for Starwars.com. And no, I don't see Darth Vader at the watercooler. But I do interview bands and celebs such as Nine Inch Nails, actor Hal Sparks, Richard Patrick, Snow Patrol, actor Seth Green, Jane Wiedlin, Sean Lennon, Mogwai, Fall Out Boy, Ween, director J.J. Abrams, Kid Koala, Cut Chemist, Coheed and Cambria, Slipknot, Ash, Anthrax, UNKLE, pro wrestler Chris Jericho, The Decemberists and many more about why they love the saga in a section called Star Wars Rocks.
And I do a lot of geeky crafts too like Bossk Bean Art portraits, Chewbacca Tissue Box Cozies, Mouse Droid Cat Nip Toys, Action Figure Wreaths and more as you can see here in Star Wars Drawing Tutorials and Crafts.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who can quote "The Mighty Boosh" ad nauseum, whip up a batch of decent waffles and make me laugh so hard I hurt. My main vice: snarky, quirky creative types.
