I'm an almost-40 punk rock ex-pat & retired riot grrrl living in Minneapolis with my second husband & second dog. // For 10 years I ran a diy business (Pander Zine Distro) very successfully & now that I've "retired" I'm finally afforded the opportunity to do all of the creative things I didn't really have time to do before. // I love to knit, make books & zines, screenprint/print gocco & more, but photography is my true passion (I don't go anywhere without at least one camera, be it SLR, DSLR, Holga or Polaroid). // I was born & raised in Southern California & dream of moving back some day. I travel when I can, but so far only within the continental U.S. & lately not at all since I quit Pander. // I live with severe Panic Disorder, Chronic Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder & Social Anxiety Disorder. I have lived with these things all of my life, I know how to cope as long as my processes are not fucked with too much. Chaos can be minor but have significant negative impact on me. I don't do well outside of my comfort zone & am adamant about respecting my own boundaries. People who disrespect my boundaries do not stay in my life. // I sell my photography & other things in my Etsy shops: ericka.etsy.com & FirstandFranklin.etsy.com
