Amy Crook is a full-time artist, designer, and writer. She lives in the SF East Bay with two cats, a roommate, and more tentacle pillows than you'd expect. She's a dilettante geek and non-practicing goth - she loves in-jokes and things with skulls on them, she tends not to go too deep into most geeky pursuits, and she rarely dresses goth (though she does use her custom-made parasol to ward off the sun). She takes her tea with cream & sugar, her gin with sweet vermouth, and hates it when the trees try to have sex in her sinuses.
