About Me

Overall I would have to say that I'm a pretty laid back person. I enjoy art, music and hanging with my friends who I've been around for about eleven years now. My small but very close group of friends is diverse and creative and has had a lasting impact on who I am as an individual. I attend the University of North Texas where I will graduate in the spring with a degree in graphic design. Outside of my design work I spend most of my time sampling beats, mixing records, building things, trying to figure out why 95' VW Jettas suck ass so hard, collecting garbage, questioning authority, running through sewers, pretending to break dance while Augustine busts out, lighting things on fire, and learning about automobiles by handing tools to Gaven. Oh yeah, and I love buttered toast for some reason. Anyone who has traveled with me to alternate dimensions of reality(Gaven, Barrett, Augustine, Heather and Jesse) can attest to that.

My Interests

the mind, eye contact, sustainable design, graffiti, urban decay, photography, music, records, DJing, urban exploring, travel, outdoors, hikes, big trees (they make me feel small), succulents, reading, politics, other cultures, religion, conspiracies, smoking on my roof, searching for cool back issues of National Geographic at H.P.Books, Goodwill (the wish and the store).

Farewell Dear Friend

The other day I stepped out onto my front porch and looked down to find a dead moth with its wings spread. It must have frozen overnight. I thought it looked super badass so I scooped it up on a piece...
