Sam Wills met Misty O’Brien in March, 2008 through a ‘game’ called Second Life. As xquitz Banjo and Skaja Carter, we became friends and then evolved into a Real Life relationship. When we became a couple in Second Life, we noticed that combining the first half of xquitz’s last name with the latter half of Skaja’s formed ‘banter’.

About Sam: I like coffee, movies, writing, video games, boingboing.net, maker.com and my cats. I’ve drawn in pen and graphite, but now am moving towards three dimensional and practical projects. I do my best to stay focused on things which is a little tough considering everything under the sun interests me. One day I hope to be a decent guitar player.

About Misty: On a good day, I call myself an artist and I’ve dabbled in several different mediums, beads and yarn being my favorites, with painting coming up third. I’ve also published my writing and the writing of other people. I’m a zinester, with five titles under my belt. A native of Minnesota, I do not like the frigid cold and think the snow is pretty as long as I don’t have to drive in it. I’m now trying to acclimate to Florida.
