Copper Cockeral Cards & Gifts: Art by EelKat

I'm an author, artist, and art car designer born and raised in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I've lived at 146 Portland Avenue since 1975. I inherited the land and the title Queen of the Gypsies from my grandmother Helen Ricker-Allen (former queen of the Ricker Clan) in 1983. My land, The Ricker Homestead, was the filming location of Stephen king's movie The Thinner, resulting in tourists dubbing us as "Stephen King's Gypsies". The land has been in our family since the 1530s. Our original family name was Googins, we are the oldest settlement family in the country, to still be the original family on the original settlement land.
