Born September 30, 1980 in Sydney, Australia - At 14, I worked for Wendy's, you have Wendy's in the US too I think, but our Wendy's only serve ice cream and milkshakes and the traditional colours of the franchise were pink, so yes you guessed it - so were the uniforms. It was such an embarrassment going to work after school where all the other students hung out. Seeing you at your most vulnerable was not a good look - pink visor, pink shirt, pink nametag, grey churchgoing pants, white runners or in my case, the late 'L.A Gears'

The job saw the end of me, rather than me seeing the end of it. I stole a tray of mango's and got fired. Well actually, it didn't reach that point, I stole the fruit and was tipped off they were on to me, so I quit, walked away with my dignity.....and a tray of unripe mango's.

I had a two year spell, and took up the offer to do a weeks voluntary work experience at IMP, a publishing company Clare (Tim's sister and founder of Slices of Australia) was working for. It was there I got an infectious taste for the corporate environment, and older women. The same year I did an additional two weeks voluntary work experience at a big, big insurance company. Some weeks before my commencing there I'd hatched a plan that if I wrote to them asking for work, even though I knew they'd say no as I had nothing to offer, that I'd get a foot in the door by working voluntarily and ultimately prove my worth. I used the old "school work experience work for nothing" line in getting the chance. They took the bait, I cleaned up their gigantic mess of a filing room in that two weeks, waited for them to offer me a job which they did, then turned my back on school, a place I hated.

Whilst I'd departed school prematurely, I was no truant and continued my education at nightschool, mainly in Office related computer courses etc. Meanwhile in such a big organization and being so young, I found myself with an abundance of opportunities to climb the corporate ladder. I ended up staying from 16 to just after my 19th birthday, holding 4 different positions in that time. After a heavy dose of glandular fever in 1998 and a strong desire for a somewhat quieter life, I made an ambivalent decision to relocate to Melbourne at the end of 1999 and commenced working for a big bank in their lending department, general call centre crud, I hated it and moved to a much quieter environment of Superannuation, a company called Superpartners. After a year there I received promotion into Insurance once again and that's the last job I've held. However, during my sabbatical away from Australia, I reached a point where I realized I was on "a rung on the wrong ladder", and, after much tooing and frowing, gave finance away. That was in June, and since I've been in-between jobs, temping for various companies, only this time refusing acceptance of another full time position in such an industry. I did complete a bar and cocktail course during my spare time which was a hoot! Gives me another option. Ideally I'd like a position within an academic environment, or my ultimate dream to be a music reviewer, pipe dreams that.

Born October 13, 1982 in Houma, LA. Brother of Taylor Lasseigne. Lives in Houston, TX with Australian Shepherd "U-Turn". Graduated from The Art Institute of Houston in 2002. Works in animation / graphic arts. His other areas of work/pleasure: photography, painting, working on an animated/live-action short film, and developing other short and feature-length film projects.

His Great Falls, MT and Las Vegas, NV slices were taken with a Sony DV camcorder. All subsequent photo essays are taken with a Nikon D70 digital SLR. Photos are always processed in Photoshop.

Also....somewhere within the year 2005, I will be starting my own website where you will be able to view my artwork: animation, drawings, paintings, photos, video projects,....etc. I'm sure Taylor will include a link somewhere on his site when it is ready; so keep your eyes peeled for that. Otherwise, enjoy the slices!

P.S. I also have a strong love for Rushmore, but my favorite film is probably Edward Scissorhands.

We started dating in March of 2000, moved in together in May of 2000, got engaged May 3, 2001 and married Aug. 4, 2001. In the summer of 2002, June 28th to be exact, we found out that we were going to have a baby. Then on Feb. 26th, 2003, Madison Renee Britt was born. In May 2003, we bough our first house, where we reside today, in Temple, GA. We're hoping to sell this house within 5-7 years and build in Dawsonville, GA near my family. We'll keep you updated.

Born February 4th 1958 in Mason City, Iowa and I've lived here my entire life. I've had plenty of chances to move but Iowa feels like home to me. My passion is digital photography and I never leave home without my camera. I take it with me everywhere I go. My other interests are genealogy and history.

Melissa was born and raised in Bartow, Fl. She grew up in Philadelphia. Having successfully done nothing glamorous with her life, she moved to Winter Haven, Florida where she works at the local hospital cleaning gore off of surgical instruments and dreaming about what she could be doing with her life if she had just stayed off the internet.

Steven Bowman was born and raised in South Louisiana. He did some time at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and is now employed by Cheveron-Texaco in Lafayette, Louisiana. In his spare time Steven enjoys L.S.U. sports, "knocking back a few", and The Simpsons.

I was born in Atlantic City , New Jersey on February 18th, 1967. I grew up in a small city near Atlantic City called Margate, NJ. I lived in Margate for 25 years. I went to and graduated from Atlantic City High School (the original building was built in the 1920s and rebuilt in another part of Atlantic City). I graduated in June of 1985. I went to a business in 1986-1987. (didn't learn anything though, oh well) I held a few jobs between 1986 to 1992, including a veterinarian's office, a gift shop inside the Showboat Casino Hotel, and the longest job from 1990 - 1992 working in a pharmacy called Thrift Drug (the company went out of business a few years after I left).

My father decided he wanted to move to Las Vegas after visiting the area a couple of times, so we sold our house in Margate (a long and tedious process) and moved to Las Vegas on September 21st, 1992 (it was a trip I'll never forget). I held various jobs throughout my ten years in Vegas: convenience store called Turtle Stop, a shopping mall warehouse, and the Virgin Megastore inside Cesar's Palace.

In 2001, I put a personal ad at Yahoo! personals, and a few months later a woman in Spring Creek , NV answered my ad. Doris and I were married on July 13th, 2002, and we now live in Spring Creek. Also, I converted from Judaism to Catholicism on Easter Sunday, 2002. We may move to Minneapolis or Reno depending on where the jobs are, as it has been very difficult to find work here. Hopefully, the future will bring big and better things. (Unabridged bio here - click)

I was born in Katy, Texas on January 7th 1982. I moved several times throughout my youth, although always remaining in Texas, and I guess that my 'stomping grounds' would be Houston. In my adolescent years, I found an interest in books and dinosaurs, but later discovered that drawing dinosaurs was what I was really interested in. Focusing all my attention on my illustrations, I soon discovered that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Everything that I am involved with creatively is in some way connected back to my early years of drawing and reading, whether it is painting, creating short animations or even photography. I graduated from the Art Institute of Houston, and I am still living in Houston, but I have plans to eventually move to Austin, then maybe California or New York, depending on several factors. I have aspirations to write and direct feature length animated films, as well as a live action films.

James Shields, was born a Yankee over 30 years ago, but raised a Mississippian. He asks that you don't hold that against him and continue reading. After sleeping his way through the University of New Orleans, James was well on his way to a career as a tenured snob in the music department of Barnes & Noble. Just before his impending, customer induced, assault-rifle rampage, James managed to secure a position at Loyola University in the public affairs department. James lives in the cultural center of Louisiana (Harahan) & is married to the lovely & former Ms. Laurie Landry. The spawn of shields is due in February 2006 (sex = boy.)

James' major influences include a creepy obsession with the Simpsons, PJ's iced coffee, Slayer, pretending to destroy hotel rooms, the movie Point Break and Juan's Flying Burrito.

When James isn't prank calling Taylor at Barnes & Noble, he enjoys horseback riding, sunsets, and attending to injured wildlife.
