Art and Worry

Rosearik Rikki Simons was born and raised in Southern California. He is a voice actor, writer, and artist. He is the only actor to play GIR on Invader ZIM. Rikki is the author of two novels - Hitherto a Lion and Ranklechick and His Three-Legged Cat - and is working on a third called Absinthium Kingdom (and several other books at the same time - which he does not recommend). Rikki draws and writes comics, sometimes alone (Rhumbaghost), but mostly together with his partner of 30+ years, Tavisha-Wolfgarth-Simons, including Super Information Hijinks: Reality Check!, Ranklechick, ShutterBox, @Tavicat, and The Trinkkits. He was also a background painter in animation on Invader ZIM and the Jackie Chan Adventures. The comics and books Rikki creates with Tavisha can be read and purchased at tavicat.com, his stand up and live performances can be experienced at YouTube, the Dungeon’s & Dragons game he live plays with his friend Eric Trueheart can be viewed at onemanmurdermaze.com, and he sometimes publishes his music at Rosearik.Bandcamp. He lives in Los Angeles with Tavisha and dreams of having enough space for more cats and a nicer desk. Sorry, that was a really long paragraph.
