Fishcakes accidentally became a business in 2001. I didn't have a plan, just some animal drawings on cards, and canvas patches with toothy monsters bearing warnings: I'm Grumpy. I'm Weird. I Disobey.

​

Since then, I've drawn hundreds of emotional monsters, animals, and foods and sent them out into the world. I think this a good thing; the world needs more epic, dorky, dessert-loving, semicolon-using, crafty, noisy, algebra-savvy, bookish creatures who love prime numbers and bugs. 

I am a big fan of animals, doodling, and anthropomorphizing just about everything I come across.  I do my monster-making in Providence under the supervision of two small dogs who bark a lot and remind me to take breaks.
