Interests

  • General

    I love books the most - big or tiny, colourful, handmade especially - mass market pocket books are the end of the world as we know it...
    I'm an avid knitter, papercrafter, seamstress and tattoo-collector

  • Music

    Lots of things, depends on my mood. Right now my iTunes "Most Played" list includes:
    Made Out of Babies
    Thievery Corporation
    Joy Division
    James Taylor
    Rob Zombie
    Sinead O'Connor
    Hayden

  • Movies

    documentaries; sometimes even badly filmed and biased ones from crazy people, but mostly BBC
    High Fidelity
    Ghost World
    Garden State
    -anything with vampires, except this really low-budget one we downloaded once - it was terrible...

  • Television

    M*A*S*H
    The Post-Punk Kitchen
    Good Eats with Alton Brown
    The Daily Show
    any crime or biography show

  • Books

    Too many too name...
    I collect handmade books and short-run books and zines from small publishers like Evil Twin

  • Heroes

    Chip Kidd - he's the only rockstar book designer out there
    Tara McPherson
    Junko Mizuno
    Nick Bantock

About me:

Kids Playing with Skulls - tattoo-inspired fine art, prints, graphic design, illustration and web design in beautiful Vancouver, BC.
I produce paintings, prints, posters, business identity & logo developments, books & book jackets, advertisements and websites for local and international clients, including artists, tattooists, burlesque and theatre troupes, musicians, writers, chefs, etc.

I grew up in Kingston Ontario, and now I live in beautiful Vancouver, BC with my husband, Kirk, and our cats, Chaos, Jerry and Monkey. I have lots of tattoos and am planning lots more. I'm also a member in good standing of the National Tattoo Association. I'm vegan - I love to cook yummy vegan meals for carnivores (and for me & Kirk - the cats eat regular cat food).

In May 2005 I published The Tattoo Colouring Book and in October 2008 I published The Tattoo Colouring Book II You can also purchase both books from www.kidsplayingwithskulls.com/other.html
