I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like taking pictures a lot, so much in fact that I got a BFA in photography from the California College of the Arts, a commie organization fronting as an art school. I like doing lots of self-portraiture, artsy bondage-like junk, and occasionally taking abstract photographs of vomit, feces, and related subject matter. I'm addicted to powernoise/technoid what-have-you and basically anything heavy and beat oriented with lots of ridiculous samples, but also non-rhythmic glitchy ambient music and some crap that is just plain wierd. I am obsessed with penguins partly due to the fact that they will huddle together in the winter for survival, but come warmer weather they'll toss their friends into the water to make sure there aren't any predators waiting for them, and also because they are just so darn playful and cute. I'm an occasional director, and recently made my acting debut as a Zombie eating brains off the floor of the DNA lounge for "Whatever Happened to the Zombie Killers" A production by the brilliant Shannon Lark of Chainsaw Mafia fame. I have also produced my own horror shorts including "Roadkill Revenge" and "Aborted Shit Baby" the tale of a vengeful aborted fetus, which won for Best Short at the World Horror Convention a few years back.
