Mini-autobiography of Jim Craig (b. 1959)

I am a planetarium educator who, in earlier times, had the good fortune to work with Dean Wesley Smith and some of the other folks of the Pulphouse Gang in Eugene, Oregon.

Dean asked me to provide some illustrations for the 1987 edition of "Rat Tales" (published by Hypatia Press and edited by Dean Wesley Smith and Jon Gustafson). Dean asked permission to reprint some of that work in the 1994 release of "Rat Tales". Both books featured stories that began with the line "There were rats in the souffle again."

Since that time, I've also provided illustrations for a sociology textbook and a French textbook for teaching English to French students.

Since 1997, I've been the planetarium department head at the James H. Lynn Planetarium in Gastonia, NC.
