I’m a Creative at a small agency called Zeus Jones. I do a lot of copywriting there, specializing in writing like  ”a mom on-the-go, a tomato enthusiast, a germophobe, a devoted farmer” – the list goes on. Am I any of those things? I do like tomatoes, especially the yellow kind.

I also created a pop-culture creative writing site called The Tangential. It started as a project between me and smarty pantses Jay Gabler and Katie Sisneros, and has expanded to publish dozens of writers. We’ve now become a blogger network including Philolzophy and The Sport Hole. All the editors live in Minneapolis, where we frequently consume rail whiskey and tater tots at a bomb shelter of a bar called Liquor Lyle’s.

 

Aside from those things, I’m just a person raised on TV and magazines who likes drawing, painting, making vector illustrations of hamburgers, setting up sites on WordPress, reblogging stuff on Tumblr, thinking about the alphabet, talking about boogers with my toddler niece and drinking cheap booze to get through Minneapolis winters.

      Hey Mike – I actually used a theme by Ben Martineau for this one, and The Tangential is on a theme by Moodyguy. I would help you if I had the skills!
