Jared Axelrod is an author, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a sculptor, a costume designer, a podcaster and quite a few other things that he's lost track of but will no doubt remember when the situation calls for it.
He is a founding member of the daily flash-fiction website 365 TOMORROWS, and the writer and producer of two science-fiction podcasts, “The Voice Of Free Planet X” and the serial “Aliens You Will Meet.
He is not domestic, he is a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.

Knight Of Ruin
January 20th, 2012
Way back in December, my wife and I decided to spend the days surrounding Christmas apart. She would be with her side of the family, and I would be with mine. We are not certain we’ll be able to spend the 2012 Christmas season with either side, so to be fair, we decided to be with both.
It did not work out well.
I mean, it worked out fine for out families–though mine missed J.R., and I was told the same was true of my in-laws and I–but we were unhappy. It was only a week, but we are so wrapped up in each others lives to not have the other around felt interminable. It was all very melodramatic, like a gothic novel or a comic book.
So, it is no surprise that one night I drew our personal supervillian constructs in a similar position of leaving and lamenting. The original sketch is here–I cleaned it up and re-lettered it for the blog.
