My name is Christi Smith Hayden but most people call me Spike. It has nothing to with dinosaurs or TV vampires; Spike was a character from one of my first 'Gargoyles' fanfics that I created and killed off in the same story and somehow the name just stuck to me -- I don't know why! I really don't remember not telling stories or doodling, in fact, I have a picture of me at age 2 drawing a portrait on a chalkboard. In college, I divided my time between the Creative Writing program and the art school, eventually earning a degree in Advertising Design. Building ads is pretty darned boring so in my free time, I kept drawing and painting. When I became an at-home mom, I discovered all the opportunities there are for creative people on the Internet. I started off in the 'Gargoyles' fandom but I've branched out into other areas, illustrating stories for Wulf the Freelance, Magelore, Dungeons & Dragons, and others. Ultimately, I'd like to become a published author/illustrator. In addition to more adult stories, I'm currently working on a children's book about a lost opossum. Until then, please do enjoy my pictures!

7 Mar 2008	Lennart Edel	Loading... Hi, I have always loved your art even when it was back on Wulf Archives. It is such a Shame its down now, do you know if it will be back? I am currently looking for the other Wulf fan artists, do you have any idea where i can find them? Christi Smith Hayden replies: "Google is your friend -- just type in ’Wulf the Freelance’."
25 Jul 2008	Anon.	Loading... I hate to say this... but "Wulf the Freelance" only turns up a small section of the stories. Where are the rest? Christi Smith Hayden replies: "Beats me... you could always look up ’Anthony Pryor Brown’ -- my association with him was over 10 years ago so I really don’t know where his stuff is any more. I suggest that you do your own looking."
