"Eh... Honestly, I aint really diggin' that question. How about a different one?"
What? No. That's not how this works.
"Right... Dude, put down your recorder and look at the top of this web page. Can you see whose chronicles these are?
..Next question, please."
Chizzle, this interview is done.
"What? Dude, that's not even a question."

Chizzle NikWick was once described as, "the bastard love child of Jerry Seinfeld and Marge Simpson."
"When I was told that, I didn't really know how to react." Chizzle shares, as he and I trade pulls from a carton of milk chocolate in front of his neighborhood Quickie Mart. "I'm to assume it was a compliment. But, I've kind of always had a thing for Marge Simpson. So, the idea of her as my mom was really disturbing."
As Stoodio 32's resident illustrator, Chizzle splits his time between his illustrated adventures, "Chronicles of NikWick" and his one panel cycling comic, "QuickShot."
Prior to his pursuits here at Stoodio 32, Chizzle pursued a career as a professional cyclist. This pursuit was neither glamorous nor easy, as Chizzle supported his years contesting the pro circuit by sleeping on the floors of strangers, surviving on a diet of Clif Bars and wearing clothing items manufactured from burlap sacks and duct tape.
"Was I successful?" Answers Chizzle, "Yeah. I suppose so. I mean, if there was a competition for the craziest adventure ever, I probably got at least 2 in the top 5."

Born and raised in Seattle, WA, Chizzle only once detoured from the city of rain, lattes and software.
"When I was 18 I moved to Hawaii. I was there for only, like, 6 months before my kitchen caught on fire and I had to spend, like, 3 weeks in the hospital... But, that's another story. The story I'm trying to tell is... Uhhh, wait. What story am I trying to tell? 'Cause that fire one's actually pretty good."

What Chizzle is, is a 3 pronged, illustrating attack. Which I suppose could also be described as just one really funny looking prong.
Prong #1: The comics Stoodio 32 lovingly features within this webzine.
Prong #2: Creating art that hangs upon gallery walls. "High art," I believe it's called. And no, I don't believe it's called that for any reason having to do with the artist getting stoned.
Prong #3: Doing illustrations for various clothing items produced and sold by NikApparel.

When asked "Why?" Chizzle replies, "To get chicks. Nah, I'm just kidding. I actually hate birds. Especially baby ones." Standards/(B)Navigation/(0)Other/32Mark(StoryEnd).jpg)
