Again, I'm into everything! Big Band, Metal, Rock, Folk/Country... you name it, I have it. Nine times out of ten though, you'll find the Beatles playing.

Currently in heavy rotation: Linkin Park, The Beatles, Apocalyptica, Motley Crue, Frank Sinatra, Muse, John Prine, Ryan Adams, Flyleaf... Ok, I know - strange list!

Depending on my mood, I can read anything.

Recently appearing on my bookshelf:
• The Other Wind - Ursula K. LeGuin
• blinking with fists - Billy Corgain
• Dandelion Wine - Ray Bradbury
• Disc World books by Terry Pratchet
• Cannery Row - John Steinbeck

Hmm... so many to choose from. I love all genres, but some of my favs include Howls' Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Philadelphia Story, The Man with the Golden Arm, Ocean's 11 (both versions), Singing in the Rain, Twister, Pirates of the Caribbean, Help!, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Harry POtter series... ok, I'll stop there.

I currently work for Recorded Books (audiobook publisher). I am the team leader for the Publications department (in essence, the art director) - overseeing any print related pieces. I also do cover illustration for some of the titles we produce, which has been an excellent opportunity to do what I love - illustrating!

I am a pastel artist through and through - I love getting down and dirty with my pastel pencils. I also enjoy oil painting and printmaking, though I don't really have the set-up to do either right now. I think a goal of mine to to expand into other mediums, such as watercolor and just see where it takes me.

Art and great music - there's nothing better than sitting with some fab tunes and creating, no matter what the media used. I also like the water (ocean, lakes - anything) thunderstorms, and extreme weather (I have no idea why I'm so fascinated by extreme weather - just am!). I also like meeting new people and corresponding.

Nonconstructive criticism and people who put up a false front.
