Well...I already sort of covered this but...I like to paint. I paint with pixels mostly now. I love film and filmmakers, cinematography, special effects. I dig Takeshi Kitano and Akira Kurosawa. Kurosawa's Autobiography is one of the best views of japanese culture I have seen...oh his time at least.I am not, however, otaku. I like my anime really good. Miyazaki is the best.I love Tom Waits. He can be the most tender, or the most destroyed. When he paints a picture, it is pure. Of course I can't leave out Nick Cave, Stephen Merritt, Peter Gabriel, Diamanda Galas, Steve Reich, Jennifer Newsom, Bjork, Michel Gondry, Gustav Klimt, Giacometti, Matthew Barney, The Now Time Delegation, Jeff Buckley, The Latin Playboys, Tchad Blake more specifically, and of course Stevie Wonder. He is a badass.
