Name: Elizabeth (Lise) Chin
Bio: I grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii with my two older brothers and two little brothers (who were, by the way, extremely hairy and short). Just before I turned 12, my parents decided to go into YWAM (Youth With A Mission), so we went to Kona, on Hawaii (though locals call it the Big Island). Then we went to Hong Kong, where I contracted something nasty, spent some time in a cultural exchange program in China, and then spent Christmas in the Philippines (which was surprisingly like home--hot and humid). Then we moved out to Colorado, where the weather is erratic and dry. And also very high up. From humid sea level to bone dry mountains...! Weird.

I've always enjoyed art, writing, drama, music,--almost every creative expression out there (though I've never been any good at dancing). I started this site on September 13, 2003, where it's been home to many different comics of pathetically short life--Anitales, Game Logic, Ki's Quest, Soul Gateway, and Mura Lake, to name a few. Eh, that's life. Better get used to it. I mean, before Simply Complicated,--which died too, for the record,--my record was 14 strips.
