TATTOOING! OIL PAINTING! Wood Carving, A variety of art forms (high brow and low brow) Erika , music, movies, being with friends and family, traveling, going to burning man, bowling, competing in the Punk Rock Bowling Tournament every year in Vegas, weight lifting, poker, sushi, shooting guns, paintball, creature effects, Tiki culture, Scandinavian culture (I wish I was a viking),eating good food, meeting good people. Thats what I'm into mostly. I'm an art geek. I have been drawing since my earliest memories, and oil painting since high school. I love it. I tattoo fulltime at Art and Soul Tattoo, Co. You can see some of my work at www.adamkilssart.com or www.artandsoul.net (shameless promotional whore). Ummm... what else. I love watching good live music. I like hanging out and watching movies with my girl. Erikas a badass artist so its cool when we paint or draw at the same time in our own worlds , then we take breaks and get feedback from each other. I'm not into the bar thing like I was a few years ago. If I'm at a bar, there better be a stage or a blackjack/poker table nearby. I also dont give a shit about most sports anymore. Yeah, I like weight lifting and being athletic, but for the most part your average jock is an asshole. Not all of them though. I like individual sports better. Preferably the ones that encourage drinking.
Good people. Non asshole-ish types. Michelangelo , Dali, Escher , Da Vinci , Picasso, Rembrandt along with alot of the other great masters. Mark Ryden, Michael Hussar, Brom , Robert Williams, along with a long list of other great, modern painters. My great grandfather Heinrich (built ships, sailed around the world more than once, was tattooed, bare knuckle fighter, did brilliant woodwork). Hitchcock, Burton and a handful of my other favorite directors. Ummm... gotta say the Reverend Horton Heat since he's the reason I'm living on the west coast.
I'm really into Rockabilly and punk rock. I listen to a variety of music though. Anything from mellow to heavy. I wont list everything I like, but I will list some of the crap I cant stand. I'm not into modern rap AT ALL. Hey, I dont give a shit how many "rides" and "bitches" you have. Save your blingbling for someone who cares. And then most pop music is bad too. Pop country.... pop rock. Its bad. If you listen to it.... stop. Please? thanks.
Star Wars and a bunch of other similar movies that kept me single in high school. Anything smart, funny, bloody, dark. I'm a hitchcock, tarentino, Tim Burton kind of guy. I love a variety of movies, but I dont want to list them all. If its a good movie, its a good movie. I could be here for days listing what I like.
There are a few pretty good shows out there. I like Robot Chicken, The Sopranos, some random shows on Discovery. History channel. I'm trying to stop watching tv all together. I'm focusing more on my art and TV is the biggest distraction EVER. I'd rather have some music on.
I love books that are art related. My books need to have them purdy pictures or have to be about something I like. I'm not really into reading novels. I'd rather paint. The last book I read was called "Illusions:the adventures of a reluctant messiah". That was just a cool book, and was fast reading. I recommend it to anyone who doubts their abilitys. It will change your perspective.
My parents (awesome people. Could'nt have picked better parents) , Erika (shes all around wonderful), my Grandpa Ed (for being the nicest and most hard working guy I know) and my Grandpa Fred (for being the toughest SOB I knew), anybody selfmade, firefighters and the armed forces, Wolverine, and Jedi knights
