DON'T BE THE MOTH, BE THE FLAME!

About Me

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol just look at the surface of my paintings, my films and me. There I am. There is nothing behind it.-Andy WarholMy work has always been my strong point. It is who I am. It is what I'm good at. It has been my companion and has never let me down when many others have. Painting, writing, music, film, etc. I know that I am not always the most beautiful person in the room, or the most successful, but I am always confident that I can do something that many people can't, and as I am always learning from the people around me I know that I always have something to teach. For more info on me, read my bio on my website www.petesprankle.com. There is also small gallery of my paintings, and the treatment and movie poster for my independent film LEON TWELVE. To watch the full 73 minute feature go to the LEON TWELVE page on my top friends. Here is the 6 minute short film I made 11 years ago that inspired it with a small part played by Ellen Pompeo of Grey's Anatomy, who at the time was a waitress at my friend's bar in New York called Naked Lunch:..I have also been studying 3D animation and here is my first short... width="425" height="350" ..I also recently had my painting Blinded put on a shoe by a company called ICON and it is sold exclusivly at Nordstrom in LA area stores.If you want to know anything else just ask.www.petesprankle.com

My Interests

ART, Surrealism, indie films, Soccer (or Football as it is called throughout the rest of the world because you use your feet), weird, psychadelic movies from the 60s and 70s, toys from the 80s, cities where you don't need a car

I'd like to meet:

First off, if I write to you it doesn't mean that I am trying to hook up, or am looking for anything other than friendship to start. I know people, especially women get bombarded on here, but this site is for meeting people so you need to take that in consideration. If someone oversteps certain boundries, that is one thing, but simply saying hello is not a crime.Mainly I am just trying to promote my art and build a following for my work, so I invite everyone, add people randomly, and will accept most invitations. There is no artist in mainstream pop culture right now, and my goal is to fill that void. If you like the paintings with my pics and on this page, or the work on my website, www.petesprankle.com, then pass it on to other people. The more people who support my work the better. I will keep you posted on my shows and events.I am always open to meet people on here as friends. I have been on Myspace since April of 2004 and I've met some of the closest friends I have in LA here. I have a whole private page made up of my real friends, but I have to have met you in person first. All of the bad media and stigma aside, meeting someone on-line is no different than meeting someone on line at the DMV. There are fake people everywhere, whether at bars, or just in everyday life, so when meeting someone on-line you just need to use your best judgement and go with your gut feelings.Thanks for taking the time to check my stuff out, and don't be a stranger.PS.. Not to sound mean, but I wil delete most advertisments posted in my comment section. Unless I know you in real life or you are paying me for advertising space, please....POST NO BILLS! Thanks : )
