About Me


I work hard and I like red eyeliner. On boys. I own and operate , a hand-silkscreened tee company. I always wanted to help change the world for the better, but in my first few real attempts the fashion industry kicked my ass. Being a shark isn't what I'm good at, and ripping people off isn't something I'm willing to do, at least not in the conscious way that the fashion world considers part of the norm. So here I am phase two... I'll do my best to get more of my work out there, but know that if you see it, I said NO when I was asked to steal someone else's ideas. I am, however, extremely inspired by my heroes, and I do enjoy paying homage as tastefully as possible (like my "The Rez" painting below). Without the hard work and blood sweat and tears of those who came before me, I wouldn't be me... and neither would the world. If you see any work of mine that you think is good, know that my heroes guided my hand, intent and thoughts through every stage and process of creating that piece. I paint, draw, network, write, silkscreen, sing in the shower, run a couple of websites, and spend a lot of time with my roomate/ boyfriend, Jonathan . If you'd like to check out some of my work, here's a couple of spots...

My Interests

Painting, Silkscreening Tees, hanging out with roomie, hanging out with the Hermit, singing really loud, playing the guitar, reading tarot, creating.

...and how...

I'd like to meet:


I want to meet anyone else that has the drive to continue to help change the world for the better. It's a fairly laughable concept to some people, because how can one person change the world? Well, it's been done, and it was never done by one person alone... it's done when we all work together. While there are many people working hard to change the things that are very wrong right now, people working to help shift the balance of possession and poverty, I want to work on giving power back to the artist. How many more times will the artist's vision be hacked down to fit a numbers game? How many more creative visionaries will lose their own power and never see the success they deserve? With many artists you'll find that the money they get goes to fuel more art, the only luxury they desire is freedom of movement, travel, to help their message get out. There are many eye-opening things that aren't allowed to get out to the public, and if they are, by the time they get there, the message is hidden and easily overlooked. "That's just life"... well it doesn't have to be. And if I have to be an ideal-chaser, a dreamer, I don't mind, because I'm far from being alone. I know many. And I want to meet more. Together we can each say our own thing, and it doesn't have to be competition. There is more than enough to go around. So let's make a playdate, brainstorm, drink some wine and toast to life. If we can't succeed in changing the world, at least we can feel alive with every breath that we take, and take joy in the beauty that each of us are as individuals.

Music:

Saphin... Earl Slick... Jack Schell... Mike Garson... David Bowie... Prick... The Flaming Lips... My Morning Jacket... The Dresden Dolls... Rasputina... Nine Inch Reznor... Jigsaw Soul... Zerobridge... The Cure... Iggy Pop... Shitty Williamsberg recordings from hipster boys and girls... And everything else in the world ever, too.

Movies:

I have to be dragged kicking and screaming or just stoned to sit down and enjoy a movie that I haven't already seen- dunno why, really- but yet I will sit and watch Silence of the Lambs three times a day for a week straight (I HAVE done that). In all seriousness, though, my alltime FAVORITE movie is "Return to the 36th Chamber" (also known as "Return of the Master Killer").

Television:

Don't watch it much. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO WAYNE BRADY?? I miss him... If anyone knows anything about him now, please feel free to tell me.

Books:


Revelations in the Bible. Anything by Robert Anton Wilson, Israel Regardie, Lon Milo Duquette and a host of other occult bookspeopleauthors, Bowie biographies, things found in the business motivation section of Barnes and Nobelssss, psychology philosophy, Fingerprints of the Gods was neat, I believe in the end of time as we know it and seek it in everything I can find, especially books. Cloud of Sparrows. I also have a severe comics addiction, and a seriously silly and mostly severe addiction to manga. The illustrated Story of O was good, too. It was goooooood.

Heroes:

And: Joey Ramone, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Robert Anton Wilson, Carlos Castaneda, Taisha Abelar, Garrett, Jonathan, Earl Slick, John Lennon, Lenny Bruce, A. R. Brook Lynn, Andy Kaufmann, Chris Turalski, Gary L. Stewart, Mike Garson, Gail Ann Dorsey, Gerard, Luis, Aleister Crowley, Herman Slater, Sly, Moby, Gus Vazquez, Nico, Lou Reed, Amanda Palmer, Melora, Lisa Ferraro, Ester Hall, Joe Hall, Jeff Ferraro, Logan and Blake, Hulk Hogan, Betsy Johnson, Vivienne Westwood, Nicole Bennett, Annie Lennox... Saphin... and last but never least, Jigsaw Soul and Chris Piazza. Check out the video below.

The artist...

If a gallery dealer responds to an artist's inquiry with anything that sounds like "sure I'll add you to the pile" or "I'm a very busy person and don't have time for you but if I do then you are LUCKY...
