Josh Ray Stephens :
Joshua Ray Stephens was born in the dark misty mountains of north Georgia
in the heart of the deep deep South. He was raised by a German Shepherd
named Honey and a black cat named Boots. One day while dodging Luke,
a venomous old snake, he fell into the pond. It was there that he met
the wise old Catfish Clemens. Clemens informed him that it was time for
the human with a cat and dog for parents to set out into the world. That
night a name spoke itself to Joshua Ray in a dream. The very next day
he set out for a small town in Italy just north of the old city of Venice.
After working in Italy for a while, at a place called Fabrica, he met
another Catfish, Peter, who led him into the post-apocalyptic wasteland
of Detroit. Joshua Ray studied under Peter the Sage for two years at
a place known as Cranbrook. He now resides in the Bloody Hook, underneath
the Spotted R, with two kittens named Mars and Gooch and a baby bird
named Mary. He spends his time in an old warehouse concocting sacred
and magick icons.
