About Me

ModMySpace Profile Customizer I am a visionary artist... The last few years my material of choice has been pixels. My personal website,is the stage & storehouse for my most recent artwork. FUN! And hard drives take up much less space than all the portfolios I have stashed around the house.My real blog is Visions Surreal , but I like to copy and paste some of the entries here, for those that don't want to link out of MySpace...I am married to a fabulous musician, and his band rehearses in our "Den of Iniquity" regularly. It is so great having live music at home. Heck, people come to our house as if it were a club to hear what's going on.I went to school at the University of Georgia, in Athens Ga. There was lots of fun new music going on when I was there. B-52's, REM, PYLON, LOVE TRACTOR, SIDE EFFECTS, and many many more. I opened a club, too. It was called ""Night Gallery".Since I've been in California, I've done much performance: I started a dance company called "Go Go To Go", for which I will soon do a website to document our outrageous shows. I was also a member of the "White Trash Debutants", and we even did a single for Alternative Tentacles, the record company that Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys started. We toured a bunch too.
Here's my being in action...Currently I am the recording engineer for the house band, "the Riffles". I am a Flash Freak- and love to learn more web artistry tricks. Website building is one of my favorite things to do. It is such a great way to share art with the masses.

Music:

From one end of the spectrum to the other. Too much I love to list tonight. I record live music. iTunes at our house lives on its own iMac with a 500GB external Lacie drive. There's 40 days of continuous music! I'd only need to hit "play" 9 times in a year! Here's the start of my list... Velvet Underground, Peggy Lee, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, ALL my Athens Ga friends, Pink Floyd- especially Syd Barrett, Iggy Pop, Beatles, Rev. Billy Wirtz, Dead Kennedys, Rev. Horton Heat, Bauhaus, Nashville Pussy, Sasha & Digweed, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Kingston Trio, Black Sabbath, Joy Division, TV, New Order, Herman's Hermits
