about me...Lisa May Casaus
By now you must be wondering, "Why onions?" The answer is quite simple, they look good and they taste delicious!
Baby Onion is a character that has been with me since High School, since the days of doodling on black boards and notebook corners. He has seen several incarnations, evolving as my style has developed and expanded. I find a wealth of expression in characters and their personalities. You give them a piece of yourself and they give a piece of you back. That is where the story starts. |
