# About me
I am a sweet, friendly, happy, very tall young woman living in New York City and working at a job I love in the fashion industry. I will not bore you with a long-winded account of my teenage angst or the effort it took to become the woman I am today. Suffice it to say that I am gay, and so my path has been a little stormier than most. Nevertheless, I have been lucky enough to have a supportive family, caring friends, some of the "advantages" brought about by an upper middle class lifestyle and my love for my work. I am an illustrator in the fashion industry and so, for me, my work is sometimes like play...not always!...and I am lucky enough to be in a milieu where gay people seem to flourish. I am in a relationship with a beautiful woman whom I love desperately (see photos of her in my profile). Who can complain? I love to make the rounds of the New York clubs with Regina. If you happen to catch up with us in the city, I'll be the tall one. Oh, and yes, the photo is me.Current Residence: New York, NY
Favourite genre of music: Rock, Pop, Show Tunes
Favourite photographer: Christopher Mourthe, Gunter Blum, Helmut Newton
Favourite style of art: Impressionism, Realism
Wallpaper of choice: A cute little photo of my sweetheart, Regina
Skin of choice: "The skin I'm in"
Favourite cartoon character: Power Girl (Adam Hughes)
Personal Quote: We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Sure thing. It's always a pleasure to see your work every now and again. I forget just how talented of an Artist you are. So how long have you been drawing, about as long as you've been a Lesbian (which I assume is a loooooooooong time)?
I kid I kid, but seriously how long?

I started drawing as a little girl, just like everyone does. I just never stopped. I studied art at Cooper Union and Fashion Institute of Technology. I now work as a fashion illustrator.

And in your spare time do Fan Art and portraits of some very Beautiful Women. I can dig that.
Now ME, I've drawn for as long as I can remember and it's always been Freehanded, I never traced. To me I equated that with cheating. I've always used No.2 Pencils, never a Pencil set. Call me lazy or stubborn or set in my ways but I've definitely have mastered using such a tool for my Traditional work. I assume you use a Graphite set--what are the Advantages of that over a No.2 Pencil in your opinion and which sets have you used/are your Favorite?
