About me: Hello there, I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jessers. That's what my pals call me. Have you heard of drawing? It makes me happy. I can use a marker or a pen or even a stabbing iron. Sometimes when I carve, it does a design. My art is liney. I like the lines because the lines are together and when they make like that it's cool. Real cool. Once upon a time, I drawed four pictures. There are posters. My images makes walls cleaner. My teachers taught me to draw a liffergraph making. Sometimes the liffergraphs are confusion. I can make colleges, too. That's when you take it and make it on top of the other. There's a chicken one and a tattoo one. I like a big Giant because he's THE bester drawer. My inspire is fecal matter. I love unbeatable banzuke and macaroni & cheese.
Who I'd like to meet: Myself from the future, as long as an event like that didnt cause a trans dimentional rip in the fabric of time and space and dissolve reality as we know it, collapsing it into cosmic chaos. Also, Ol'Drippy, Beaker, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Madlib, Andy Samberg, Jevus, a really big grizzly bear, Peter Griffin, and Charlie Day, Carlos Knight, and Chap Hazard
