About Me

NOTHING IS RACHELPROOF....


"I shared a vague optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top.
At the same time, I shared a dark sense of optimism that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going."
- Hunter S
Clothing, costume, styling, makeup, shiny things..
I make a myriad of things for a weird and wonderful client base who are almost as obscure as myself.
its never boring, though it does make me a homicidal social retard. i love it.
i also wander about a lot procrastinating and rubbing my beard.
My website explains it a little better. go look there.
available for serious bespoke commissions of weird and obscure natures (the weirder the better as it has to pique my interest) otherwise i'm staying in my cabin, floating about, scrawling maniacally on rizlas and ignoring the intrinsic mediocrity of the outside world *falls over dramatically* ;p
contact me through my website, not myspaz.
can also be found lurking at with some fine elfin kin,
and the ever cracked-out Livejournal which is cheaper than smack.
pass the rum?

My Interests

i would like to say i like the simple things in life. but that would be a lie..

some things are best kept simple though.. like: 80's movies, absinthe, being antisocial, boys in makeup, branding, chainsmoking, contact sheets, lateral thinking, opening cans of worms, creative messiness, drinking games, apocalypse, pedantry, edwardian fashion, leopard print, unfinished artwork, meticulousness, nice eyebrows, killing idols, power tools, hair furniture, procrastinating, the 11th hour, randomness, ranting, ropework, sewing machines, sharp things, sloe gin, spontaneity, falling off my soap-box, sunrise, techno, trash can glam, troublesome antics, conceptual art theft, vodka, waffling, storytelling elves

I'd like to meet:

pole dancing pirates and corruptable youth, nasty spiky degenerates with a soft centre. people who can drink me under the table, or you're paying the tab. comrades with whom i may embark upon great adventures... and probably remember none of it. so you'd better tell a good story....

oh, and anyone who will let me pluck their eyebrows - mine don't grow fast enough.

Movies:

many. lots. too many.

Television:

*pfth*

Heroes:

your mom
