The Tao of I.T. Al #56

Al is a martial arts instructor who happens to also be a 6'4" armadillo. His day job is manager to the university internet cafe "Javadillos." ...Aikido Al is the nom de plume of Alicia Vogel. Born to a classical composer father and a singer/painter mother, it was foreordained that she would run towards the artistic side of life. This translated itself into a major in advertising design and sculpture, followed by graduate studies in digital art and graphics. With her master's degree in hand and a passion to fill empty spaces with cool looking stuff, she started a web comic about an Armadillo who taught Aikido in Japan, called Aikido Al. The comic ran for a year and a half. Alicia currently works as the Lab Manager for the University of Texas College of Communication, and as a freelance digital artist and cartoonist.
