About Me

I'm a "Brainy musicolologisticator" (thanks, Lady of America!), and I play bass, do ridiculous drawings and the occasional painting, talk in my sleep, and avoid eating meat. I also play "Librarian" during the 40 hours each week where I surrender my personal freedom in exchange for funding my real life.
When I play bass, I usually am doing it as one of the two members of Iron Oxide , a loud, noisy, rusty, industrial-decay type band. You might not like us, but we are the best band in town. I also play other things, like guitar, electric sitar-guitar, dobro, slide bass, piano, tenor saxophone, vibraslap, kazoo, or just about anything else that happens to find itself in front of me. I've also started putting out some solo recordings. You can check out those and numerous Iron Oxide recordings at the Coffee-Hut Records website, of which I and my fellow IronOxidizer Kat are the co(n)founders and sole operatorses.
I also have a separate MySpace page for my solo musical activities .
Oh, and there is also a continuing comic strip I'm working on, the adventures of a mad feline in space, Mabel On The Moom, which you can see at the Robot Vomit Comix Myspace Page .
My other not-very-frequently-updated website, eBUH.com , is a repository for the kinds of things that make my life tolerable to me, or, as its headline suggests, "Your Home for Personal Dadaism and Maximum Cohegency Choicefulness Network Thing." It also has some of my cartoons about being a Cat in a Person .
You can also take a peek at a little Online Illustration Portfolio I put up.
When people ask me what it was like being in a band back in the olden days before the internets in the 1980's, I tell them to go read this comic I did a million years ago about bands in Kent, Ohio way back then. It's historical and informative! And sometimes even accurate.
If you're really bored and want to look at more old artwork I've done, you could do worse than take a look at the amusing Rats to Cats! , which I did in collaboration with the very famous Carl Steadman; you could also go and take a look at this comics adaptation of "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Creative, weird, open-minded people who are funny, way into music of whatever kind, who simultaneously don't take anything seriously, and also take everything too seriously; who think for themselves and have their own opinions and aren't just the same as everyone else. People who like to laugh at poorly-worded/punctuated, misspelled, or othewise badly-made signs. People who like to make things and do things. And who at least try not to be too flaky..
