Chewing up and spitting out the lines between artwork and attire.

Nice people who would like to wear my clothes (the clothes I make, rather).
Music:
Mingus. Early Delta blues. Dub. Hip-hop (mostly non-bling varieties). Cabaret Voltaire/Richard H. Kirk. Black Sabbath. Sparks. Aphex Twin. Old radio broadcast records (The Shadow, Inner Sanctum, Suspense, Sherlock Holmes etc.). Too many good bands to list . . .

Fields, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock . . . we've been watching a lot of Laurel and Hardy lately . . .
