Jason Snape is from New York state.

He was raised on Nonsense, feeding on

Snape and Orcutt silliness,

Python and the Marx Brothers,

Pooh Bear and Sid Fleischman,

Roald Dahl and the Phantom Tollbooth.

Despite this, he has

degrees in environmental and graphic design

and a thesis on humor.

He reads books and fills sketchbooks.

He has built houses and scaped land.

He has been a designer for large internet firms

and small design studios.

He has written children’s books,

and created games,

and taught design and illustration.

He has slowly begun to think

that he might be an artist.

Now drawings from sketchbooks

have somewhere to live,

somewhere to go…

Snape’s Ridiculorum is a wildlife preserve

for Nonsense, where it can appear

and mature (or not) and wander around a bit,

nap and chase other Nonsense,

and generally enjoy itself

before returning back to the world

to find its own little niche to live in.

That’s where you come in:

Thank you for giving Nonsense a

good home.
