My Interests

Art and painting and color theory.

I'd like to meet:

Other artists that are passionate about their work. oh, and cute chicks. :) only for inspiration and reference of course ;)

Music:

found some old cd's and have been listening to them nonstop! mostly Billie Holiday and the Squirrel Nut Zippers!

Movies:

Dawn of the Dead remake...I don't know why, but I love drawing with this movie playing in the background. Bound is awesome...even if the last 2 matrix movies were a mess. Gina Gershon is cool as hell, and Jennifer Tilly's voice actually helps ;). What else...Boogie Nights! love everything about that one. Strange Days...all because of Angela Bassett, another cool chick.

Television:

Ninja Warrior! Discovery/History channels. Discovery HD! Sunrise Earth. looks even better than real life...and I don't have to leave my home to appreciate nature ;)

Books:

Artbooks are pretty much all I've been buying lately. Alberto Vargas by Reid Stewart Austin. The Classic Pinups of Jack Cole by Alex Chun. and Eldon Dedini's book of his Playboy art. great stuff!

Heroes:

People that create art for themselves first.
