● ABOUT ●
Operation
Elusive Concept is drawn by artist and photographer Chris Ashby, who lives with
her better half, three chubby cats, and a German Shepherd Dog in the United States.
The comic strip first saw the light of day in 2004, and
you can place the blame for its existence on her better
half as well as the staff of the Fort Eustis newspaper,
The Wheel.
In her spare time, Chris is interested in a wide variety
of stuff, such as snuggling with her cats, artwork,
website design, history, photography, shooting,
traveling, and reenacting / living history.
Actually, she spends most
of her free time either on the computer, at the range,
the book store, living history events or working with
her dog. Her dog, Abby, is a certified therapy dog.
Her guilty pleasures are chocolate, World War II items,
and computer gadgets, and she will gladly be bribed with
ANY of those as payment for commission work. |
