Whether you like an item from our show inventory or choose to work with us on something special; the end goal is for you to come away with a piece that is as unique and creative as you are.
Comics have played an important role in my life. Not just in helping me to learn how to read but growing up, they also gave me an avenue in which to escape what was happening in the world around me. I love working with damaged and recycled comics because it keeps them out of the landfill and more importantly I'm able to share their value with others even though they are no longer considered to be in
“good condition.”
Giraffes have always held a special place in my heart. We share the same knobby knees, long legs, and elongated necklines. There is also something endearing about giraffes, they have a quiet confidence about them people cannot help but stop and stare when they are near.
Fun Fact: giraffes have the largest heart of any land mammal (just in case it comes up for you the next time you are on Jeopardy.)
Obviously I'm a person who takes themselves incredibly seriously. :) I have been over six feet tall since the eighth grade so let's be honest; how many people did I have to "look up" to at that age? I identified with the women of G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling - you will want to Google this) and heroines like Lynda Carter. I'm a Geek Girl who is the proud mama of a TriPawd canine kiddo as well as a four-legged feline kiddo. I play roller derby, I’m a Portland Ghostbuster, & I collect comic books.
