Blake Rollins was born on the mean streets of Albuquerque NM. Over the years Blake has worked as a lion tamer, an umbrella salesman, and a professional arm wrestler. He once killed a man in prison. However, he claims his fondest memory was the time he spent working as a roadie and sometimes backup dancer on Madonna's "Like a Virgin" tour, where he learned the art of cartooning from the Material Girl herself.

He is currently one of the world's foremost breeders of rare and endangered moths. His favorite moth is a Giant Speckled-Blue Moth of Borneo, which he says, "has a wingspan larger than my entire ass!"
