I am a freelance illustrator and geek from Chicago, IL.

Some things that start with the first letter of my first name: jelly, jeans, jewels, jack-in-the-box, Jenga, jai-alai.

I have been to midnight showings of the rereleases of the original Star Wars Trilogy, the first 2 Lord of the Rings movies, Spiderman 1-3, X-men 1 and 2, the Dark Knight, Harry Potter OOTP and HBP, and the Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows book release.

I have met the actor who played the Soup Nazi and Ernie Hudson AKA: Winston from Ghostbusters.

I have a cat named Bella, which is short for Bellatrix and has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight.

I dressed as Raphael, the ninja turtle, on my 25th birthday because everyone knows he is the best turtle.
