I am currently fixated on the following: photography, making short vid clips, my new Gretsch, home improvements, Japanese stuff, my new computer, binge eating, purging excess possessions, pink stuff, distorted images in the reflection of chrome fixtures, fish-eye views, weird pulp fiction and illustration circa 1930-1940,
78rpm discs, my Raleigh cruiser, making my own T- shirts and stencil-graphics.I generally attend at least one gig a week.
I like various trash culture things like old pulp books, Warren Magazines, comix,
films, art etc. I like both low-brow and high-brow art. For example: Beardsley, Rackham, Brundage, Wood, Krenkel, Frazetta, Richard Powers, Vaughn Bode. I have a fondness for girls, and I feel lucky to know so many beautiful gems. I drink like a fish, but only on weekends. I like to eat out, when not brushing up on my own (limited) cooking skills. I have been tattooed by the following artists: John Van't Hullenaar (The Dutchman Tattoos, New Westminster BC), Lal Hardy (New Wave Tattooing, Muswell Hill, London UK), Vinse One (Liberty Tattoo, Seattle Washington).
I'd like to meet:
Frankie Fiedler. Please Read before Adding Me: I actually know the majority of the people on my 'Friends List'. I don't take the concept of 'friendship' lightly. I wont add anybody who doesnt have a photograph of themselves. And whats with all you chumps hiding behind fake names?++++++++++++++++ THAT SAID I'd like to meet: people that are as passionate about R'n'R as I am. My Criteria for Friends: someone who has either been to my house, or someone I would invite to my house. I hate the following things: coffee, cell-phones, sports, cigarette smoke, Karaoke, Christmas. Oh, and Macho Meatheads (get out of the closet already, Dickhead).
