Soon to be single mom. Freelance fantasy artist and fulltime restaurant manager
I've been in the restaurant industry for 12 years, managing for almost half of that. I'm originally from South Africa and now living in Alberta, Canada. I originally immigrated with my folks in 2001 to Vancouver to get away from the crime and racism issues in South Africa, and to get a better education and future than I would have gotten there. It's debateable whether that's what happened... grass always look greener on the other side until you get there!
I am currently 6 months pregnant and expecting my first child, Nikita Rebecca-Eden on August 29th 2008 :) I am going to be a single mom and will have to learn the ups and downs of parenting while trying to juggle a full time job for income, and hopefully will soon be approved for Capital Region Housing so we can move out and live our lives. Although I'm scared as hell, I'm looking forward to the challenges of motherhood.
I'm also a huge comic book enthusiast! Although moving out on my own 6 years ago cut my comic book funding by 90% I still collect the odd X-Men or Witchblade. I originally wanted to go into comics as a career, and have done 3 of the Joe Kuberts comic book courses. I am also self taught on inking, pencilling , digital colouring, and digital painting. I do fantasy paintings freelance for extra money on the side.
I'm pretty friendly, send me a message if you want to know more :) I may take a while to respond but I do get back eventually.
