About Me

Burger King coffee is my absolute favorite.I like to mix my Healthy Choices Cappuccino Chocolate Chunk ice cream with 1% milk and stir it around until it's mush. Then I eat it. I've been doing this with my ice cream since I was 4 years old.I like sugar-free peach flavored JELL-O brand gelatin.I enjoy my iced chai light on the ice and I WILL tip a lot if it's made accordingly. Rarely does this happen, by the way.I don't like to eat outside because of flies and other insects circling my plate, waiting to land on my burger and take a shit.I love Target.I love my Jeep.I love Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Mountain Dew. I have them running through my veins.I like Kabuki comic books.I like the smell of fallen leaves in autumn - even after it's rained. I love lilac's two-week window, albeit far too short.I love holiday spirit.I love horror movies.I hate receiving gifts. It makes me feel uncomfortable.I love anything I create - even though I'll tell you different. I'll spend minutes and hours staring at works I've drawned, painted or created in computer and I'll listen to songs I've composed over and over again. Secretly, I think I'm undervalued as an artist and aspiring mind.I believe that artists are the eyes of God. It is our duty to communicate his beauty to the world, so that people stop buying those motivational posters from U-Frame-It. The task is daunting. Hard is the road and long is the way. They love their wretched kitsch.I don't like pleated pants.I wear only black socks. I prefer wearing blue oxfords to work.At home, I eat standing up and I pee sitting down.My greatest regret in life - visiting the MOMA in San Francisco whilst Michael Jackson and Bubbles were on-loan to another art museum. Oh, the humanity!

My Interests

I love to compose music on my computer. Occasionally, my songs will appear on my myspace page. I am the 'colorist' for Antidote Comics. Our current project is a 'Blood's Own.' I have a sample of my work in my photos. I have also begun illustrating my graphic novel entitled 'Boot Hill.' Look for it in stores sometime before 2010 (gulp) I bartend at The Lift on Saturday nights. I'm interested in what would make someone drink so much that they have to use our bathrooms to vomit. There are colors and smells you never knew the human body could produce. Vomiting begets vomiting.
