BASIC CRIPPIE FACTIES
My name is Crippie (AKA Nicole). I recently graduated SUNY Purchase with a BFA in graphic design. I was diagnosed with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses when I was a year old, I've been living with it ever since. It's not always easy and it's not fun but I'm going to make the best out of my situation, no matter what happens.
NOT SO BASIC CRIPPIE FACTIES
When I'm not designing something or blogging, chances are I'm being a total nerd. I love The Sims and play it whenever I have a chance (and no, I don't always kill my sims... they just happen to lock themselves into rooms where fires are occuring). I probably find internet memes a little too amusing, my favorite meme is the "Me Gusta" face (thumbs up to people who know what I'm talking about). I have six guinea pigs who and very adorable and whom I love deeply. One of these days I'll post pictures of them. I'm a huge fan of folk and blue-grass music. I remember being the only person I knew who was aware of who Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger are (sad I know). I'm attempting to learn how to play the mandolin, but I kinda suck at it. I also enjoy antiquing, I'm always on the hunt for awesome vintage prints and objects that showcase vintage graphic design.
