When Brandi Kelley was two years old, she arrived in San Diego, California, from Yokosuka, Japan. Her mother loved Disneyland, and she started taking Brandi to the Magic Kingdom. These monthly visits to the happiest place on earth became a ritual. When Brandi was eight years old, one summer night, while sitting on her bed, she penciled out a young boy with overly large feet and named him Hector. By the end of the summer, she had the rest of the Olympian characters developed. You can reach her at hectorandtheolympians@gmail.com.
