Brenda Dunn has been getting in trouble for crayoning on the walls for as long as she can remember. She went to art school at the University of Guelph because in art school, they let you draw on whatever you want.
She works and plays in Ottawa where she came for grad school and just stuck around ever since. She learned a lot of busy words during her Masters in English Lit, but it turns out she actually prefers the visual to the verbal when it comes to communication. You can see what she makes at artinjest.com, watch her make it at Twitch.tv/artinjest, or rifle through her digital sock drawer on Insta, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok - you name it she's on it all @artinjest.
She also doesn't totally get why these things are always written in the third person but concedes that it does just sort of feel right.

Eli Kwake doesn't do boring. When they aren't writing, they're doing theater, burlesque, or making mischief at a renaissance festival. But mostly they're writing, lost in a world of their own making. After all, why live in reality when there are so many other worlds to explore?
