.....a throw of dice will never abolish chance........

About Me

Welcome to myspace.....Several people have asked me about purchasing prints and commissions......Yes I sell my work(silly question)... I work on commissions and private portrait sessions...Contact me if you have any interests or questions.......People ask me to define my style .......as you can see....I have no style that I have commited to other than an ever changing in the process mood....My style changes from emotion to thought.....day to week....Most all of the work posted on my pics hass been created in the past 3 months.....I work fast.....I get bored and move on quickly to the next idea, notion, inspiration ,whim........I'm tired of recognizable forms..... I'm thinking my next project will be abstract..or not..or I do not think to much ahead about it really..what have you???...depending on my mood....the music I'm listening to ....what I've seen....the kind of day I'm having.....My work is unplanned....I have no need to define it...or....save the world with it...I do have a need to create it.... a need to fiddle, mix, tweak .... tinker with something visual...I's a more of a compulsion/obbsession than a passion.************************************* .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

My Interests

Music, painting, world culture/history, vintage fashions, fine art, the Steelers(yes I watch the NFL),modern dance, theater, travel, film and photograpy.There are a few examples of my work here

I'd like to meet:

Inspired individuals who have something to say..and to share...I appreciate honest feedback on my work and I enjoy sharing my thaughts on others work........I am also looking for models in this area for my photography....I'm getting a little tired of looking at myself. I would like to meet my teenage self at 18.....I often wonder if she would aprove of what I have done with her life and dreams.................................Living here in Altoona PA can be a real drag......I'm tired of looking at all the uninspired peolple around here...........I know there are diamonds in this rough place ....perhaps they have all fallen into the potholes and reside some where in the gutters of Altoona. These lights that shine despite this reckage.They are on someplace.... maybe in that condemed dwelling on Kettle Street.You know the one we all want to burn.That spark that ignites and improves upon this self destructive space.......Maybe its burning a hole into its own arm at Aldo's........()()()(()()()()()()()()()()()()()()Come greet me on that bridge of decay.
