It's a curious thing to have to write about one's self, but we'll try to get through this without too much gnashing of the teeth. I grew up in Northern California where my father studies venoms, insects and other odd creatures. As such, most family vacations were spent in the wilderness, often hunting for previously said creatures and their venoms. I've lived a number of places around the world including, but not limited to Australia (Home of many venomous creatures.) and England (Home of not so many venomous creatures.). Eventually these wanderings came to a halt for a time making my mother quite happy and I studied landscape architecture at UC Berkeley. This led to studying film design at the American Film Institute and a lot of subsequent work filming things. Among the things, which have not been filmed, are two younger siblings; a sister who solves quite involved math problems and a brother who studies the insects, which live in streams. Neither them nor I have a pet raccoon, but if we did it would be like Missy. Presently I live in Hollywood where I drink tea and design films when I'm not writing graphic novels. You might have heard of some of the films I've designed, including You're Next, All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, and V/H/S 2. An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will O' the Wisp is my first graphic novel and the first graphic novel of my awesome artist Megan Hutchison. I don't eat mushrooms I can't identify.
