About Me

Everyday is Halloween! At home I'm a dad and a husband. However, I still love going out, having fun and partying with friends... but really I'm mainly an introvert who loves staying in, reverting to a child, getting weird, turning up the music and drawing/sculpting/painting and making things, mainly creatures and monsters. My favorite days are those when I come home inspired by some type of art I've seen, and I'm driven to get to work and create something.BEGINMYSPACETOOLBOXBACKUP VERSION 1.0;;111111; ; Center Center; scroll; no-repeat; cc6600; ; ; ; ; ; ; 99cc00; ; ; ; ; ; ; 00cc00; ; ; ; ; ; ; cc3300; ; ; ; ; ; ; 333333; ; Center Center; scroll; no-repeat; ; solid; 0;;ENDMYSPACETOOLBOXBACKUP
