About Me

Hello, my name is Mark Ostler and I live in Seattle.

What can I tell you about me? I like old whiskey, fast horses and green money (to quote Johnny Paycheck).

I'm in a band, we're called "Warning:Danger!" Our mission is to preserve the safety of this great land, because saving lives is the highest call of duty anyone can hold. We rock, kinda like Black Flag meets The Dead Milkmen.

I also made a movie with my friends, check out www.girltroublemovie.com for more info.

I've written 3 books. Check out my embarassingly out of date website www.bangzap.com

I had my first photography show last summer, thanks to everyone who came, one more coming this summer.

Working on 2 more movies, another cd, and 1 more book, so be my myspace friend and I'll tell you about cool stuff coming up.
