I've been doing alot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas,

About Me


There's a deformed lump on my right shoulder, and if you examine it closely, you can see its inner linework of tiny veins as it pulsates like it's going to errupt.
I think I'm giving birth to an alien.
Anyway, did I mention I have a twin ? It's some girl from Texas, apparently. I'm serious.
Aside from seeming like an otherwordly creature, I'm also a human being with peculiar interests and fetishes. Below is a definitive list about my evolving character and stuff that makes me gush!

My Interests

Art, music, and pondering my futile existence.

I'd like to meet:


Meet me if you can draw, meet me if you can paint, meet me if you can create, and meet me if you can humor me, but whatever you do, don't give me meat.

Television:

On rare occasions, weird, funny, and fascinating stuff on Animal Planet, the Discovery and History channels, National Geographic, and TLC. The Dog Whisperer is fun!

Books:

Cubism/Futurism by Max Kozloff;
Futurism by Rosa Clough;
Marinetti: Selected Writings by Filippo Marinetti;
and Shock of the New by Robert Hughes.

Heroes:

My overbearing but loving parents, my adoring friends, admirable and eccentric artists, and people of remarkable selflessness.
