About Me

I am a painter, a photographer, a graphic designer and I make ceramic jewelry. I make art all day long. I am very productive and passionate about what I do. I show at a lot of festivals and I display my art and jewelry on the last Saturday of every month at Cannibal Flower Art Show. Send me a message if you want directions or any info. You can see some samples of my work in my pics and you can see a lot more jewelry designs, get a lot more info and even purchase stuff at surlyramics.comI've decided to become a skeptical artist. Logic and reason has truly changed my life for the better and science has inspired me in many ways. You can see my paintings and read the explanations associated with them on surlyramics.com.I have a little shop set up on etsy.com now where you can also buy my jewelry. I put different stuff up on both sites. All the jewelry in the pictures below are the actual pieces I have available for sale on etsy right now (and theres a lot more there too)! You can go to surly.etsy.com to see that shop and get yourself a piece of my wearable art or just click on the green surly link below...

My Interests

I make art. I paint. I make things out of clay. Go check out my website surlyramics.com if you want to see what I've been making out of clay. Check out my pics to see some of my paintings. I've painted HUNDREDS of em so there are just a few posted.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Tom Waits. I'd ask him to read my grocery list cuz everything he says sounds cool. Oh and Richard Dawkins is my new idol. Smart people are cool.

Music:

I like music.

Movies:

Movies are good if you need to kill some time... or if you live here in Hollywood movies are good if you need to make some extra money.

Television:

You gotta have a sense of humor these days so I think the only thing good on TV is Southpark, the Simpsons, Family Guy and I loved The Sopranos. You can watch Southpark on iTunes and DVDs dont have commercials so in my opinion TV's days are numbered. The WORST thing on TV is Fox news. I mean really... ouch...its just painful to watch...so I dont.

Books:

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Read it, I dare you! Seriously people WAKE UP!!!! Now Im reading The Single Helix by Steve Jones and God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens. Science is sexy!

Heroes:

My heroes are people who pull themselves up from nothing and make something great out of their lives. I’m also pretty fond of painters like Frida Kahlo and Van Gogh and Picasso (to some extent) and other artists who made art for art's sake regardless of notoriety or money or praise. They just kept it up and expressed themselves the way they wanted or needed to regardless of what society said. If you are a true painter you will paint until the day you die. A simple truth that leads you along a heroes path. I'm also pretty fond of scientists! Yay science!

My Blog

I cant make this blog link go away so....

I guess I should type something here.....I think we are living in the midst of a time of social and technological change unlike anything prior. It is a wonderful time to be alive.I feel it is time we...
