Misha Garden

This is Anna’s second year Gishing with Team OddLittleDucks. She made the coffee table book last year and she designed the team t-shirts this year. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have her back with us. 

STARDUCK

In her own words: “This duck hears, ‘Nothing but the rain.’ I’m a 29 year old math teacher who tortures her students with everything nerdy. I love anything arty, Netflix bingeing, and quoting Parks and Rec.”

“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.” -Pablo Picasso

Callie gished with Team OddLittleDucks last year. She created an amazing flower dress that we’re proud to show off. Even though she is in Japan this year as a foreign exchange student, Callie is joining us for GishWhes 2016 and we couldn’t be happier!

Fowl Weather

In her own words: “As middle school emo as my duck may seem, I am actually a cheery person who just happens to enjoy pulling over for the occasional roadkill. Other hobbies include staying underwater for extended periods of time and hitting things with sharp sticks. 2014 GishWhEs graduate, 10/10 would gish again.”

Beth is new to Team OddLittleDucks, but not new to GishWhes! We’re so happy to have her Gishing with us this year and can’t wait to see what awesome things she constructs out of food this year!

Riduckulous

In her own words: “This duck loves rainbows, sparkles and superheros! Stay at home mom of 2 ducklings, 2 kitties and a big pupper. Marvel, Supernatural and Steven Universe fan but I dabble in pretty much every fandom.”

“Everything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.”

Chris is a veteran Gisher, but is new to Team OddLittleDucks this year. We plan on putting her world-wide connections to good use for GishWhes 2016!

Ducky Barnes

In her own words: “28, Gainesville, FL. LPN/student. It’s all work, work, work and seriousness until GISHWHES comes around. Then Ducky Barnes gets to put his brooding aside, get down to real business making friends and smiles.”

“GishWhes- if I’m going to work nonstop on a week off, better bet things are going to get weird.”

Daniiella, or Dani as we call her, has been gishing since she was 16! This is her first year with Team OddLittleDucks and we can’t wait to see her put her mad photoshop skills to work!

Pond, James Pond

In her own words: ‘19. Coventry. Illustration and Graphics Student. A great lover of books, TV shows and music. Top secret spy on Mondays. 4th year Gishwhes veteran.”

“Brace yourselves, Gishwhes is coming.”

Also new to Team OddLittleDucks is Diane. Living in Guadeloupe, Diane has access to an amazing island full of resources. And she’s the best at coming up with hysterical puns that we know will make you lol. 

Darth Feather

In her own words: “Ducks, I’m your feather!»Darth Feather is relentless at teaching (IRL) & gishing, cause she’s using the Dark side of the Force on her students to make them work & build her own secret army. 33 years old and counting, her Death Star is currently located in Guadeloupe (don’t tell the Rebels!), a beautiful & sunny french caribbean island. Darth Feather is a geek, and when she’s not fighting the Rebels (a.k.a her students), she loves picture & video editing, watching tv shows & frolicking on the beach (without the black armor, cause it gets hot out here!). Darth Feather wears indeed a black armor, but when you get to know her better, she’s an undercover kind girl who enjoys french food & caribbean rum of course !”

“Gishers, may the Force be with you!”

Grace gished with Team OddLittleDucks last year and we’re super excited she’s back with us. Grace designed our team logo for this year, and helped several team members design their personalized duck. Her design work will be put to good use for the 2016 hunt!

Quack Widow

In her own words: “21. Chicago Suburbs, IL. Art student who enjoys pizza, her cats, binge watching, and the annual week of weird that is Gishwhes.”

“Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad” -Miles Kington

New to the OddLittleDucks, but not to GishWhes, Kate has a lot to offer GishWhes this year. She has mad video skills that will definitely come in handy. Not to mention an awesome job with some pretty cool characters!

Lisa participated in GishWhes last year, but is new to Team OddLittleDucks. We couldn’t be happier to have her! Lisa is a history buff, with numerous cosplay connections that will be mighty useful during the hunt!

Orphan Quack

In her own words: “Dwelling in deep, dark places, Gishwhes gets this duck away from dusty books and out into the sometimes sunny British air. 28 year old post graduate museum studies student. Furmum to two high strung but loving kitty’s. Proudly geeky and absolutely unique. Loves sci-fi fantasy and a good night in with doughnuts and a book.”

“GishWhes, because pillow forts are for grown ups too.”

Maleea is new to Team OddLittleDucks and the only member on the team new to GishWhes! We can’t wait to see what she can accomplish with her access to several young children, art supplies and dozens of animals. 

FireQuacker

In her own words: “G'day fellow gishers, this duck is coming at you from the sunny state of Queensland, Australia. I’m a 23 year old Virgo, I work with kids on a daily basis and like to think of myself as a kindhearted, silly, witty, creative and generous being. My friends call me an ‘undercover nerd’ and I take my fandoms very seriously. This year will be my first year of participating in Gishwhes and I’m excited and keen to have a good crack at it!”

“Mama always said, Gishwhes is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

This is Millie’s 2nd year as a member of Team OddLittleDucks and we are excited to have her back with us. Millie knows all kinds of cool people and has access to so many things that help us during the hunt. She turned in over 30 items herself last year because she’s just THAT good! Can’t wait to see what she accomplishes this year. 

Duckstiel

In her own words: “Forever young 29 year old. Book reading, TV show binge watching, momming, shipping (seriously, SO MANY SHIPS), high school history teaching - 3rd year gisher. My strengths include my outgoing personality, creativity, and completing items we thought impossible to get at the last minute. For me, the hunt is a week to dial in to the crazy, young, kind, and silly part of myself and a chance to witness it in those around me.”

One of the founding members of Team OddLittleDucks, Melody is vital to the success of our team. As an art major, she knows all the tricks to having a successful hunt. We can’t wait to see what she pulls off for GishWhes 2016!

Melodious Duck

In her own words: “I’ve been gishing since 2014 because while I get to see the people around me’s perspectives change with all the crazy, beautiful things we do, my perspective changes, too. The world becomes brighter. I start seeing things differently, and it stays with me throughout the year. And then, there’s K. K is my 6 yr old daughter who loves gishwhes. She is growing up as a gisher. To her it’s not weird to make clothes out of candy or out of the ordinary to do kind things for others. That’s her world, and it’s the best.”

“GishWhes is about love, helping people, kindness and making some crazy-ass art that shocks the hell outta someone.”

Olivia is a founding member of Team OddLittleDucks. Not afraid to get her hands dirty or her body sticky from whipped cream or candy, Olivia is our unabashed guinea pig when it comes to the more outrageous items. She’s willing to put it all out there in the name of Gish and we love her for it. 

Quacktastic

In her own Words: “I enjoy long marathons of Netflix followed by cuddling up with my phone and looking up theories on who Negan killed on TWD. (I’m looking at you Glenn or Darryl!) I am a Slytherin and a Pisces. Coffee is my life blood. Started gishing in 2014 and I don’t know that I’ll ever stop.”

“Misha gave me GishWhes. GishWhes gave me a heart.”

Rebecca is a founding member of Team OddLittleDucks. More comfortable behind the camera, Rebecca is responsible for keeping the team organized and submitting all our items to Gish. 

Loon-A Lovebird

In her own words: “A Writer. A Geek. A Traveler. A Netflix Binge Watcher. A Counter of Beans. A Pinterest Addict. A Bookdragon (kinda like a bookworm, but more badass). A Gisher since 2014. Fandoms: SPN, Harry Potter & Sherlock”

“Everyone thought you’d go back to normal at the end of the week, but they seem to have missed the memo: Death 2 Normalcy.”

Madea is a Gish veteran and this is her second year as an OddLittleDuck. With her skills and quirky personality, she is our video editing guru. Always making sure the team stays connected during the hunt and throughout the year, Madea is irreplaceable. 

Duckchester

In her own words: “28. Sweden. Student - Behavioral science major. A duck that longs for some sun and holiday but will happily gish until that time comes. My strengths are video editing and making stuff that needs to be made. Oh and crocheting. When not studying or gishing, I enjoy geeking out with anime or shows like Supernatural or Gotham.”
