Russell Ihrig was born in Alexandria KY and graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts from the Art Academy of Cincinnati in 2003. His current day job is at a non-profit arts organization in Cincinnati where he dresses up in costumes and acts foolish. He currently lives near Cincinnati in Bellevue, KY with a tiny dog named Donnie. He has shown at Warsaw Project Space, Publico, Black Floor, and Vox Populi. Recent achievements include beating The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in about 50 hours (but he still has some heart-pieces and golden bugs to collect) and listening to all five audio commentaries on the Cabin Fever DVD.

Gawd Russell, creep us the fuck out why don't you? It's not scary because it's the rug from that hallway in The Shining, it's scary because you knew it was that rug from that hallway in The Shinning. Looks very sci-fi all separated like that, doesn't it?
