About this “website”

I got tired of paying Squarespace out the ass for a website I never updated (because I hate making internet), so now a different website I will also never update can live here on Substack. Ahahahahahahahaha

About Val

It’s bizarre to write in the third person but that’s how most author bios go. Here’s the most recent version of mine, which you can find inside The Hot Dog Coloring & Activity Book:
Val is an irreverent author/illustrator and humor enthusiast. Her hobbies include gardening, stand-up comedy, and provoking the public. Follow and tag her @valbrains.

Late 2025 edits/updates:
• I’m taking a break from stand-up because I am le tired and I don’t like being out late regularly
• I still enjoy gardening and provoking el publico
• I’m still irreverent
• If you really want to peer into my world, check out my writing substack
