About Me

I am an Illustrator, I draw independant comic books, funny pictures, stupid pictures, and silly things that pop into my mind. I live in my Studio in the crotch part of Connecticut, Iv'e been to art school, I work full time selling clothing and shoes to people, I have an itch on my back i cant reach, I have a dog, and i think i have a myspace account, but who knows?

My Interests

Blowing my weekly income, bullshitting, liquir, comics, graphic novels, music, film, beer, and yes, ART!

I'd like to meet:

Fellow artists, geeks, freaks, anyone with a functioning brain, the gentleman who stands on the corner of East AV., and Post rd. E, who shouts at nothing in the late hours, just to hit him with my car.

Music:

Rock (more old than new), Blues, some Folk, Punk, Old-school Hip Hop, Classic Soul, and jam bands. As far as other stuff goes, im sorry but Pop Rots your brain, Emo is the musical equivalent to irritable bowel syndrome. and what is this crap that passes for R&B now??? YES, i AM a music snobb, i know what i likes, and thats that. I'll always be up for hearing new music from new artists, for art's sake, but having to hear whiney bubblegum bullshit from the speakers at my job every day have made me loath what i dislike even more, as well as appreciate what i DO like to a higher degree.

Movies:

Chien Andalou
..
