Leia

Leia does Sandie's hair. She also used to sit around and watch bad movies with me in the middle of the afternoon, but suddenly everyone got too busy. It's also worth noting that she was actually named after Princess Leia, of Star Wars fame.

Scott

Scott is an art director. He listens to more audio books than I thought humanly possible. Thousands of them.

Alex and Rafael

Alex is the head of Studio 407, which I'm doing some work for. Rafael created Sonambulo, one of my favorite comic books. They met about thirty seconds before I took this photo, which makes them both excellent sports in my book.

Josh

Josh is a comic book writer. If you ever go to a party at his house, make a point of using the bathroom. You haven't whizzed until you've whizzed as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue softly plays in the background. 

Erika

Erika is an artist. She plays bassoon in the Beach Cities Symphony Orchestra. She's a marine veteran. If that's not a renaissance woman, I don't know what is. 

Sue-Anne

Sue-Anne and I teach Hands On Art together. She has a South African accent and a sense of decorum that it makes me feel that I should work on my own manners a little.

Lester and Lena

Lena and Sandie used to work together. Lester is a brown belt in Aikido. Don't mess with him.

Mike D.

Mike is married to Michelle. He has no problem putting on weird hats.
