About Me

A few things:

On where I get inspiration from; it's never really from one place. I get alot of inspiration from my dreams. They have always been incredibly vivid, and I believe they're that way for a reason. They usually explain themselves to me if I paint them. Sometimes I'm inspired by sexuality, this has been the focus of my more recent paintings. Then there are times when I see someone and I am attracted to their energy. I might not even talk to them, but to me they exude some form of emotion, and it's strong enough to tell me a story. I hold on to that story or make up my own then paint the subject. Sometimes the feeling is acheived sometimes not, whatever the result, the process is always changing. My mind is constantly humming with ideas. So much that sometimes I interrupt my projects with another project. If that makes any sense. Sometimes I ignore it sometimes I give in. On Time Management; I have no concept of time, and this is an issue for me, so I will go ahead and apologize ahead of time...Sorry. It's a work in progress. On Leisure activities; They make me feel guilty. Everytime I go out and don't have an agenda I am bombarded by thoughts of things I should be doing. Painting, making earrings, calling people back etc. Oh, and I could fill a library with my social anxiety issues...Glad to meet you.

My Interests


My focus is art. It is extremely important. Art keeps us in touch with our opinions, imaginations, dreams, and emotions. There are so many distractions to keep us from having any feelings at all. I feel like I'm doing my part to keep at least a few people from becoming mindless robots.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet like minded individuals who have an interest in teaching as well as learning each others craft. I'm looking to meet people who want to create a network to support each other through music and art.

Music:

Music and art go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. I am so inspired by music. Some of my favorite artists are: Bad Brains, Living Colour, Hepcat, The Specials, Crimpshrine, Jawbreaker, Fugazi, Black Flag, Portishead, Sade, Bikini Kill, Stereolab, Massive Attack, Thelonious Monk, The Cure, Hot Water Music, Watch it Burn, Diplo, Platinum Pied Pipers, Ten Falls Forth, Rufus, Chaka Khan, Eddie Harris, Miles Davis, Modern Jazz Quintet, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Sly & the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder...

Movies:

I'm a big fan of indie movies, but I also like a couple really cheesy B movies. Some of my faves are: Lost Boys, Purple Rain(what?), The evil dead trilogy, The Dark Crystal, The Labrynth, Snatch, Raising Arizona, Freeway, Donnie Darko, City of God, Slums of Beverly Hills, Frailty, Pushing Tin, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Anything from Tim Burton(with the exception of planet of the apes...oh, and I wasn't really feeling Mars Attacks either), Anything from Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, and so far I've been pretty impressed with the Coppolla familys' movies, Niagra Niagra, Fantastic Planet, Go, The Big Lebowsky...& the list goes on...

Television:

Should be beaten to death
