Biography

Name: Julia Liu (as if you DIDN'T know that from the gallery name...) I also go by the monikers of Jules, Docta J, and just J

Occupation: Electrical Engineering sophomore/senoir. It's complicated like that. But I do work in a physics lab and TA chinese and math! Occasionally I'll take on a design freelancing job. I would LIKE to get an illustration commission *poke poke* I have good manners, my nails are usually clean cut and I don't bite.

Hobbies: Eating, sleeping, babbling in tongues, singing opera in the shower, pounding the ivories, coming up with conspiracy theories, drawing, painting, CGing, fooling around with puzzle games, acting, acusing chestnuts of being lazy, public urination, oh wait... did I just type that?

Favorite old school artists: Leonardo Davinci, Alessandro Bottecelli, Michealangelo Buonorotti, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, August Rodin, Norman Rockwell, too many to count.

General heros: Leonardo Davinci (artist, musician, architect, physisist, biologist, inventor), Barbara McClintock (biologist, chemist), Albert Einstein (physist, silly man), Jean Jacques Rousseau (philosopher, physisist, oh you know the rest), Kerry Mullis (yes, he's a jackass but I still admire his mind), Umberto Eco (philosopher, writer), Kurt Vonnegut (same thing)

Anything else?: I spend most of my days either in a physics lab writing little C++ and Labview programs or in front of my sketchbook or computator doodling. Now that you've eaten my soul, GO AWAY YOU LITTLE MAN!!!
