Janice Lim

As an undergrad, Janice Lim studied studied printmaking and photography, but she holds a graduate degree in art restoration, and she currently works at the Field Museum of Natural History making display mounts for rare and precious specimens including (currently) dinosaur fossils from Antarctica!!! She's also a highly skilled tattoo artist, and she garnered fans as the drummer for Civilized Man and Gula Gila, two influential Chicago bands. Given her many interests and talents, It's no surprise that she and I broke my record for longest recorded interview, and I loved every minute of it, even the heavier moments when the conversation turned away from lighter topics (old acid, drumming in a skirt) to more difficult subjects like grief and loss.
