About Me

dork extreme. thirsty for knowledge. design buff. craftster.

i like to make meaningless paintings, drawings, collages, and objects in my spare time, which isnt terribly often these days.

i drink a lot of coffee. i probably couldnt live without it. but mostly, i probably wouldnt be happy.

creative minds amuse me immensely. i would preferably be surrounded by art and music at all times.

i have a small wig and costume collection that im always looking to expand when i can afford to. this is probably one of my stranger hobbies.

i read a lot and rent lots of documentaries on art history, architecture, religion, philosophy, social issues, serial killers, etc.

i love writing and receiving email so dont be shy.
give me your art, your poems, whatever you have. we'll trade. ill rejoice.

i become more unsure the further i go.

..

My Interests

Art of all media. making stuff. art history. design. modernism. religion. the criminal mind. human sexuality/psychology/relationships. literature. music. New Urbanism. scrabble.

naked chicks who smoke cigars.

You see, a person of my acquaintance used to divide people into three categories: those who would prefer to have nothing to hide than have to lie, those who would rather lie than have nothing to hide, and finally those who love both lies and secrets.
