I tattoo for a living now, but have been an artist my entire life. On the side, I enjoy drawing and painting, as well as spending time with my wife and our dog.
I'm an artist by trade. I always have been. Nearly anything creative - whether film, music, books, etc. - will interest me. People also interest me... not always speaking to them, but certainly watching them. Never sit me in front of a window looking out onto a busy street.
I'd like to meet a lot of people who are, unfortunately dead at this present time. That aside, however, I'd like to meet just about anyone who might have a good story for me or who may have similar interests.
Too diverse to list bands or genres, but I do enjoy plenty of punk, metal, blues, bluegrass and jazz. Really, though, my tastes are wider than your favourite aunt's vagina.
Again, too diverse to list off anything in particular. Notable types of movies, though, include horror, gore, suspense, foreign stuff (especially from Europe and Asia) as well as fils that make for a great background atmosphere (this usually also includes having great soundtracks.)
Mostly just the movie channels. I've been big into a few television series though, including Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me, Carnivale, Weeds, The Office and of course The Simpsons and South Park.
I read what I can, when I can. Mostly biographies and novels filled with rich cultural references. Most of my book-buying is for reference books. My library's getting to be quite extensive.
