Judi Bradford is a painter, a writer and an event coordinator. After a degree in art and graduate work in experimental darkroom techniques, she performed a kaleidoscope of freelance projects in illustration, graphic arts and journalism. Readers have had access to her columns in Key West papers -- Solares Hill, Keynoter and L'Attitudes -- continuously for 16 years.

For ten years, concurrent with the graphic work, Judi managed production, wholesale and retail distribution nationwide for Lizard Licks, the first suction-cup novelty critter, which she created. A collection of the companion comic strip, Lizard Licks, a Comic History of Key West in the 1980s, is available at Amazon.com, Key West galleries and bookstores, and at www.authorhouse.com (1-888-280-7715).

Judi won college teaching fellowships, various art show prizes and received grants for multiple projects. In '02 she was presented the Dorothy Daniels Honorary Writing Award for a memoir "The Can of Worms." She is a member of Mensa, is recorded in Who's Who of American Women and is proud to hold a diplomatic passport from the Conch Republic as the creator of the official mascot of that mock nation.
