I'm Alonso (And So Can You)

About Me

What about me? I'm an artist living in New York City and attending the School Of Visual Arts as a cartooning major. Yeah, I can't believe I'm getting a degree in 'comic books' either.I've been married since this past summer. My wife's also in school, at City University of New York School of Law.I've traveled a bit to Europe and Mexico, most recently on my honeymoon. I love big metropolitan cities; favorites are Mexico City, Istanbul, Barcelona, Rome and Athens. The more I travel the less I feel like I've actually seen the world. China, I'm lookin' at you!You can often find me on MySpace; it's often my lone connection to the outside world. Drop me a line, whether I've known you all my life or since yesterday. I've never got enough people in my life. What famous artist are you?
You're Andy Warhol!! You're hip and edgy and cool... plus you have a keen knack for letting others do your work for you. I mean really... do you think you INVENTED that Campbell's Soup can? Whatever though, people will still kill to hang out at one of your parties...
