About Me

Frustrated Artist; 'difficult and opinionated'(or so I'm told--as if that's a bad thing he heh), jewelry-maker, struggling wordsmith, 100% indigo and 99% right-brained...I believe 'weirdness' is a high art, something for all those truly gifted to aspire to.

"Good taste is the first refuge of the non-creative. It is the last-ditch stand of the artist." -M.MacLuhan.
