About Me

Myspace EditorSELF-POTRAIT IN THE LOCKER ROOM AFTER SUPER BOWL XVI (Detroit, 1982).. width="425" height="350" ..As for me? I'm your basic, Left-Handed, Californian, Italian, born on Valentine's Day. By basic, I mean, 1 of a kind. A: always B: be C: creating Always Be Creating I'm defiantly a highly creative, competitive, optimistic individual who loves to laugh at myself, and at you. I have a hundred friends that know exactly who I am, deep within my soul, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm someone who can call my mom at 11pm on a Saturday night, and tell her to check out the new Gnarls Barkley video, knowing she'll enjoy it. I spent the first 30yrs in Northern California, growing up a few minutes from Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco, and benefited greatly from that experience, both culturally, and spiritually. I write everyday, I photograph life (not nearly to the extent that I desire), I draw, paint, sketch, build, construct, and sculpt, with the hope that something I have created will outlive me. I am in awe of others who have successfully had their work outlive their short time here; Leonardo DaVinci, Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Edgar Allen Poe, Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Paul Strand, Edward Steichien, Herb Riis, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, and Bob Marley have all expressed themselves in a ways that have inspired me, and challenged me to create as much as I can, while I can. Sadly, I have hindered my own progress through several bouts of procrastination. But, when I have procrastinated, it's usually because I am spending time with the people that mean the most to me.

In the early eighties many children... including bullies, punks, troublemakers, and hard-core delinquents... cried during E.T. I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it, had I joined them.&nb...
