Chris O’Connell was born and raised in Massachusetts and has been to drawing and painting since early childhood. While growing up, his drawings were heavily influenced by science fiction films, comic books and animated television shows. Chris eventually attended numerous schools until finally earning a BFA in 2001, and later a Masters degree in Liberal Arts in 2003. His professional work has since come to include graphics development, photomanipulation, web design and even video game development, with clientele in fields ranging from academia to small press literature to independent film. After teaching numerous college courses, both in the fields of fine arts and computer science, Chris currently serves Massachusetts-based multimedia firm NinjaGirl Productions as chief operating officer and lead designer.

Strange Horizons
Strange Horizons invites non-fiction submissions for our March 30 special issue on “Fungi in SFF.”
Once I’ve finished writing, I will fold this letter up and tuck it into the Tristram you kindly loaned me (may it be our Galeotto … ). I’ll knock on your door, at which point I will most likely encounter a puzzled maidservant, who will ask who in the world I am, and I will explain that I am returning a book you were kind enough to bestow on me (generous creature that you are and clearly down-on-their-luck weatherworn would-be poet that I am).
the trees were softening, their bark for the hungry to scrape and scrape and spread it on whatever bread they could beg or bake
i must warn you before all else / before you poke and prod
Paul Kincaid and Dawn Macdonald join Dan Hartland to discuss style.
