About Me

Derek Hess' anatomically direct visions have been a staple of the Cleveland music-scene for the better part of 15 years. Since then, he has jumped the fence of his backyard, receiving acclaim from cosmopolitan galleries to the fine-art bastion of the French Louvre.

My Interests

I DON'T DRAW CUSTOM TATTOOS, i get about 30 requests a week and if i did one, i'd have to do them all, hope you understand. - i use to book a club here in cleveland called "the euclid tavern" from 1989 through 1995, check the photo album that has some of the action. i don't engage in debate with the republicans, their minds are made up. - i like driving in the snow (it's my favorite winter sport), food made from pumpkins, curry, coffee, WWII, ufo's, super volcanos, global warming, going out to eat, good hotels, silver and bronze age comic books, pet shelters (i'm on the board of directors of place a pet foundation ), white castle, rubber uglies ( http://www.normansaunders.com/RUgly%2C01.html ), cleveland browns, cleveland cavaliers, cleveland indians, cleveland america hardcore, detroit rock city, omaha, jill wagner
