I love to make things, learn things, travel, draw, cook, eat, buy local, reduce/reuse/recycle, swim in rivers, plan, become healthier and stronger, and find little pieces of beauty wherever they are hiding in plain sight.

I love Portland, Scotland, ukulele, farmers markets, DIY, peanut butter and chocolate, the art of cartooning, textiles, Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, tall ships, Gogol Bordello, Mano Negra/Manu Chao, Steeleye Span, glam rock of the '70s, Iain Banks, John Crowley, Mark Helprin, fresh basil, trees, mom, and Catmonster L'orange.

and my sewing machine and Crete and apricots and Six Feet Under and the Princess Bride and thick Greek yogurt with honey and toasted walnuts and oh god it goes on, but mostly, it's all about my people and beauty and the world.
