Dave J. Ford ~ Born in Boksburg, South Africa to British parents, David J. Ford is now a proud citizen of Canada. Since the age of five, Dave has been practicing various art forms, but has always found himself making a living in more practical professions.

Dave is also the proud self-published author of a collection of cartoons, It Only Hurts When I Laugh, with a portion of the profits going to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. Dave was kind enough to volunteer his time and talent to the creation of our ‘The Rise of the Goddess’ cover.
