.... I like building stuff, creative problem solving, reading, anything pop culture related, retro styles, hot-rod and custom cars, motorcycles, tiki, concerts,route 66, eastern philosopy/religion, low-brow art, collecting the artwork of other artists whose work i enjoy, hardware stores, power tools, laughing out loud, groovin' on life...you get the idea.
Lookin to meet like-minded low-brow artists to trade/buy art or others into similiar art, interests and music, etc.....

Any film noir, B-movie or sci-fi horror will do.....
not so much...mainly history channel, discovery channel or spike tv (MXC rules!!)......occasionally peppered with alittle serial killer profile , true crime or biography.
tom robbins, Dave barry, hunter s. thompson, bukowski, among others, for fun. Otherwise i don't really read for entertainment, but to learn something new or keep the ol' intellectual wheels greased, especially eastern philosophy/religion. Anything and everything by Alan watts or joseph campbell. brad warner 's recent "hardcore zen" or the even more recent "end of faith" by sam harris
Be your own hero!! Sure, we are often inspired by others, but ya gotta be able to stand on their shoulders and look further down the road......
