Chase Griffin navigates the surrealism between the sacred and the profane. He was raised in a bookstore called The Memex located in a Tardis-like room behind a law firm. In his teens, Griffin was an intern for the beloved Tampa sportscaster and secret weird fiction aficionado Chris Thomas. In his twenties, before blowing all of his scholarship money on blotter, he attended SCAD where he was befriended then mentored by TV director extraordinaire Winrich Kolbe. Kolbe once said to Griffin, "You are a brilliant surrealist. Don't blow your dough on blotter." Griffin's books include What's On the Menu? and How To Play a Necromancer's Theremin (co-authored by Christina Quay).
