TANYA BIZZARLOW Hello. My name is Tanya. (there is no i in my name.) For possible birthday wishes purposes, my D.O.B. is 4/10/83, making me 22 years of age. Right now I'm living in (Mt. Eden) Auckland, New Zealand and trying to find job-like things related to my degree. (insert bitter laughter). I moved from Hamilton, where I lived and did university studenty type things for four years. Before moving here for university, I lived and grew up in Hong Kong. I miss home a lot, but it comes and goes, depending on how busy I am. Heritage wise, I'm Eurasian- half Singaporian, half New Zealander, with a NZ passport, which means no international fees for me! Hooray! If you're smart, you won't ask about the accent. So, I finished my Honours degree (graduating with first class honours, ooooh). I was quite nervous about it all and I was stressing out and ended up getting sick, but I'm much better now. As for the whole website thing? I used to be into it a lot, and couldn't stand having a layout up longer than 2 months. Then last year happened, and that bloody kill bill layout was up for almost a year! I figured, it was time to start a fresh, and just keep it simple and easy to manage. I have a lot of stories. One day I might tell them to you. Most of them are funny and embarassing. Theyre the best kind. :D Things. Things that I like. I like making things. Particularly badges. I'll make you one if you ask very nicely. And not ask for 80 like someone did the other day. The nerve! I don't even have the parts for 80!! And I learnt how to KNIT(!) last year! i've just finished scarf #3. (I didn't say I was a very good knitter.) I like taking photos. of trains and people and scenery and my cat. You can see them at the gallery. I am insanely interested in animation. The whole process of it intrigues me. The brain-crushing amount of time it takes to make anything just.. i dont know. I'm easily impressed by things. Creepy things are what I enjoy best. Particularly that whole mix between cute and creepy. Like gloomy! Comic books? Yes please! Love: Evan Dorkin(Dork), Jim Mahfood(anything), Jhonen Vasquez(everything, esp SQUEE!), Roman Dirge(everything), Tom Beland(true stories), Craig Thompson (Blankets, Goodbye Chunky Rice), Harvey Pekar/Robert Crumb, collaborators, etc (American Splendor), Hewlett/Martin (Tank Girl), Roger Langridge (Fred The Clown), Jim Massey (Death Takes a Holiday) and Tim Burton (The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy), Jeffrey Brown (aeiou, Unlikely).
