KILGOROUND

I was somewhat surprised this morning when I came into the office and discovered Janet Murray, graphic designer, covered in tattoos — for today.

She is celebrating Halloween dressed in a mesh top painted with Japanese Koi, waves and lotus flowers. I am not going in to detail over the rest of her attire, but I wonder where her motorcycle is?

Others characters at the office today are Clint Eastwood — complete with cigar — the reining Queen of Dark Hearts, a broomriding witch, a ghoul, a pirate and Billy Bob "3-B" Brady.
