The little voices tell me to draw bad things.

About Me

I'm a "young professional" in the "real world," out here in LA. The cool thing about all those rather overused terms in my case, is that it means that I get to design, illustrate, and animate to put food on my table and gas in my car. I love what I do, and it's something that I never get tired of getting better at. I love my friends like they were actual blood relatives, and I love my family like they were my best friends who were like my blood relatives, but actually are... I love big ol' dogs and I like to watch cats get chased by dogs (but get away I guess). Good music drives me through my day, and I'm always willing to hear something new and crazy, and movies continually inspire me to create things in different ways. My friends will tell you I'm a funny guy, but that's only because THEY'RE all funny, and they know good humor when they see it. I wanna get in a firefight with Colombian druglords in a warehouse, or fight a bunch of Nazi robots underground. I can do voices and accents really well and when I color, I mostly stay in the lines.
------------------------------------------------------------ I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that art has often judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past has suffered, so that it has never been forgotten. I know too that the powerful fear art, whatever its form, when it does this, and that amongst the people such art sometimes runs like a rumour and a legend because it makes sense of what life's brutalities cannot, a sense that unites us, for it is inseparable from a justice at last. Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts and honour. -John Berger

My Interests

Art, music, girls, sports... maybe not all in that order though, depends on the day of the week.

I'd like to meet:


Satan, Tom Waits, King Arthur, Jesus, Christopher Walken, and an alien all playing a long drunken game of poker in the backroom of some dingy bar. I'd just be permanent dealer and listen to them talk about life, women, and history.
