About Me



Let's Boogie!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I'm just your average, porn-peddling, artistic, recovering meth-head alcoholic who's blazing trails to get ahead of all the bullshit that I've created in the past. I've been a custom framer, a lighting designer, a drug dealer, a bathhouse jizz-mop, and a body snatcher... literally. That means that I used to pick up dead bodies & take them for a fee to the morgue. I've lived in Long Beach & San Diego CA, and Brooklyn NYC.

Moving forward, I currently live in Valley Village, CA, (NoHo Arts District) and work in the Miracle Mile section of Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles. I have a career in production for the most successful gay porn publishing company in the history of gay porn.
I also paint, which seems to be gaining momentum by word of mouth as my works have been commissioned by collectors here and there. At the moment, I'm working on a book of tales from three very distinct and unique chapters in my life. It's a surreal life at times, thankfully. There are a couple of new painting commissions in the works too......and yes, I'm clean and sober.

I'd like to meet:

Amy Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, Todd Solondz, freaks, icons, creative persons who chart the void, and of course... Sir Tom Jones.

Music:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I dig the likes of many singers, bands, performers, artists, wrong-doers, noisemakers, and naysayers. I like most music that's dense and textured, and some that's light and fluffy. I love pop sensibility, but cringe at the sound of pop music. The more bleak and/or obscure, the better. Give me top 40 and I'll give you a turd in the mail.

Movies:



Running With Scissors; Head On; Brain Candy; The Party; Rebecca; anything by Todd Solondz -- especially Palindromes; anything by John Waters -- especially Female Trouble;

Tales Of The City (yeah it's a great book and the subsequent "More" and "Further Tales" rate too, but nothing beats Marcus D'Amico as Mouse & Chloe Webb as Mona); Crimes Of Passion, Delicatessen; Seconds; Women In The Dunes; Citizen Kane; Asphalt Jungle; Pie In The Sky; Feed; etc, etc, etc...

Books:

God, Grant Me The... WHAT!?

It is my belief that my higher power (whom I choose to call God) does not require that I be a docile, robotic doormat in the name of serenity.  God has given me a voice to speak out when necessar...
