About Me

I was born in Oakland, California in 1973, but have lived the majority of my life in North Carolina. I am an artist and musician. I've been drawing since I was one year old and painting since 1991. I attended Cornish College Of The Arts in Seattle, Washington from 1992 to 1995 or so before dropping out. It was all right. I've been playing music since I was about fourteen (guitar, as well as bass and some piano). I made my first recordings in 1991 and now since 1997, I have been performing and recording music under the name Inspector 22(www.myspace.com/middletooth). I've been a vegetarian since 1997 as well. I drink a lot of coffee and work on art, pacing around listening to records most days. I have two cats, Lola and Alastair.
