The better Steve

Checkmate! You're the hippopotamus!

About Me




*I'm willing to talk if you're willing to listen, otherwise you're not worth my time.

*I am 100% Polish and proud of it.

*I graduated a 4 long years of School of Visual Arts and as result I love just about any form of art.

*I draw and write regularly in my own free time, even if it's not for work or a job.

*I work out regularly and rigorously, physical fitness is important to me.

*Fighting, or mixed martial arts, is my favorite sport.

*I still watch cartoons and play video games.

*I've been to Europe.

*I'm addicted to comic books... like, for serious.

*I've interned at Marvel Comics in editorials, which is my biggest "foot in the door" so far.

*I'm a huge 'Street Fighter' fanatic, it's the game that got me into fighting.

*I love just about any form of Metal music.

*My sense of humor is sick and bizarre, and will probably scare small children.

*Yeah, I'm a dork... shut up.

*My imagination goes a mile a minute, no matter what I'm doing.

*I have this trait where I say exactly whats on my mind at any point in time... it's gotten me in a lot of trouble.
*I know how to dance and how to sing, go me.

*Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

*I love horror and anything that involves vampires, ghosts, or the supernatural.

*Klaus Janson is my mentor, and he's better than your mentor.

*For the most part I'm calm and relaxed, but I get excited really easy... watch out.

*There isn't a minute in the day I'm not busy with something or someone.

*I want to gather all the guido fags, emo kids, and jappy girls together and set them on fire.

*I love getting my ass kicked because that's when you learn to kick ass.

*Writing things in the form of a list with bullet marks forces you to make your point.
