Perception is everything

About Me

I would describe myself as someone who is down to earth,outgoing,optimistic and creative.I'm a self taught artist, I enjoy painting, drawing,and writing (some would call it poetry,check my blog if you're interested).I've participated in a few gallery shows and art festivals.I also play the drums,although I haven't been able to locate my own kit in some time now (that's another story for another time).I like discovering new things whether it's a new band or an artist or perhaps an interesting periodical,then share these things with my freinds. Who I must say are a great group of individuals. I like bars,resturants,galleries,museums,sporting events,and live music. Overall,spending quality time with quality people.Some artwork of mine (pen and ink on paper as well as acrylic paintings and one pencil drawing on illustration board)
