Hi, I’m Jen
I’m probably a megalomaniac.
Weird Story
When I was ten my parents brought home healing magnets to place against our bodies should we have a pain or other ailment. They were healing, but there was a catch: you had to get the side right. Put the wrong side against your body and you’re fucking with the goodness you’ve got. Weird, right?
Here’s some other stuff about me:
I live in (and love) Oakland, California. Flattery will get you everywhere. A couple years ago, I quit my job (no upward mobility) and started my pet portraiture business, Van Gogh My Pet. It didn’t really work out. Neither did my Tupperware business.
Luckily I had some useful skills to fall back on. Nowadays, my main gig is running Artsy Geek. We make wonderful things happen on the internet (we do print too).
I do a bunch of other stuff too like volunteer on the Oakland Grown steering committee (shop local!), and try to keep my billions of other schemes and ideas moving. Once upon a time I made my living as a traveling salesperson slinging Super Sponges.
I day dream of being a Talk Show Host. But if I had my druthers I would make silly movies all the time. Or maybe I’d be a topiary artist. Too many options.
I started blogging in 2005 as a way to deal with the pain of leaving college. I was dramatic and brokenhearted.
Back then I had terrible hair.
