I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


TO ALL BANDS SEEKING MY FRIENDSHIP. Please, rather than FRIEND me here on my painter-poet page, how about banging on over to Radio Scenewash, where I have operated an Internet radio station hosted by Live365 since July 2, 2003...The RSN link is below, first friend slot. You know the drill. I may get militant about this bit of protocol at some point, but right now, I'm just asking all ROCKERS to respect my own sense of order, and gather at the same annointed place. That way, we all win the war against monstrosities.
I'm a hunter gatherer. I hunt for true reciprocating friendship. On the other hand, I'm rather corruptible seed, so I try to gather all the competing forces together in some roaring attempt to take the fight to the battleground where art and politics beat each other up, and few are they who appear the wiser. That's the primary directive, but for my next trick, I also paint rough angst-driven figurative art, and crank out equally compelling digital work. I have shown these offspring of grim madness in Washington, NYC, Los Angeles, Wheeling, WV, and Cairo, Egypt.
Still bored? Discover or illuminate your own personal disturbances over at the SCENEWASH PROJECT. Keep it slamming, but don't neglect to inspect those Wheeling Wailing Wall snapshots in the picture section of this page.
BECAUSE WHEELING WEST VIRGINIA BY GOD ROCKS!
To impale the stale writer I once thought I was born to be, I published an excruciating volume of poetry in December '05:
THE SILENT CULL AND OTHER MECHANICAL IDEAS
(Collected Poems 1980-2005)
You can purchase this 400pg retrospective of powerfully visceral works in soft or hardcover editions at Amazon and other online mega-retailers. And for more GT literary muscle, just hurl yourself into the icy-fanged sarcophagus of yet another of my ripsnorting blogs called TAKING THE AUSPICES .

Multiplying By Zero

Okay - I chased the dream, invested thousands, and I mean tens of thousands on this irrational hope that I was actually investing in and building a business, yes, a small, self-sufficient business cha...

For What Its Worth...

ART, IT IS SAID, RESIDES in the eye of the beholder. Clever critics may muse otherwise, but the ever diligent [conjugating] cogniscenti in fact, mostly fail to disprove this rather quaint truism. A wo...
