Krissy Downing

Krissy was born in Seattle, WA approximately two hundred years after John Hancock put his John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence. Ever the chaos & mayhem enthusiast, Krissy spent July of 2003 fashioning a catapult of popsicle sticks & bottle caps and flung herself across the United States. Only a few minor injuries were sustained upon her skid landing in Washington DC...

Krissy is a math nerd, a musician, a computer dork, a goofball, a good buddy, a dancing queen, a girl scout, a writer, a graphic designer, a rapscallion, and a self-taught painter & illustrator. She is not a fish, a kernel of popcorn, an embankment, two 6" pieces of red licorice, God, scrod, a boy named "Todd", nor an ax-weilding murderer from Utah. Krissy likes 7-11 nachos and naps. She doesn't really care for slug-licking contests.

Krissy is now going to switch to writing in the first person, because the word "I" requires a lot less effort to type than does the word "Krissy".

Actually, I think putting a bunch of links and pictures up at this point would be a nice, welcome change from all of this dadblam text. Don't you think so? Yes, that's what I thought. ...Also, let's switch to "center" alignment, shall we?

I am in a band called American Sinner!

We are a rock/folk-noir/gothic americana/pirate-music band. We have no guitars!

I have two baby kitties, Stupid & Bitey:

Okay. Their real names are actually Snorburt and Little Bean.

I own a record label (Qrissy) through which I intend to produce albums for the musicians who live inside my head:

www.qrissy.com is mildly defunct at the moment...

but the label also has a presence on MySpace:

I am writing a series of self help books under the assumed identity of one Olivia P. Livingston, iPhD.

I am a member of ArtDC.org, the DC Conspiracy, the Arlington Writers Group, and am currently showing some artwork at Artomatic.

OH! I also occasionally reflect on crap about life in my online blog.
