CURRENT MISSION

Quo Minor Sensu

ABOUT ME

I'm Jey and I have sold my soul to cartooning. I love art that says something about the subject through exaggeration of form. It's actually a crazy deceptively simple-looking SCIENCE.

I am vegan! Garlic also holds a minor share of my soul.

I scape together pocket change doing illustration commissions. Also I make eyeballs. Most pet goldfish make more noise than I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. All rivers lead to the ocean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just familiarizing myself with the site for now! I am preparing for a couchsurfing journey from San Diego to Kentucky in the fall. Early stages, details as they emerge. I would love to host people once I have my own place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once left a note tucked into a mannequin's thong underwear in a clothing store.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to draw with or for people. Or participate in any kind of art. Play music. I'm learning the ukulele and working on my singing ability, and hoping to find more people to collaborate with. I can cook. I have ever-increasing, MacGyver-like scavenging and improvisation abilities; I would like to step up my game and go dumpster diving. I really NEED to learn how to dance. Need!
