About Me

I'm mostly a low brow artist type. I'm a designer/photograph/painter/actor. Give me a dive bar, and a PBR or a Hoegaarden and I'm a happy man. If my dog is there, then I'm really happy. Put it this way: on my desk right now I have a tiki, a darth-tater and a stuffed Jackalope (cause I can't have a real one). It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. But it makes me happier when other people are laughing (though usually it's at me). There's nothing better in the word than friends, laughter and love (not necessarily in that order) ...

the mu-mu

I've been living in South Philly now for about two months and I finally just saw my first fat, old, white lady in a mu-mu sweeping her sidewalk. There were no leaves; she was just sweeping.
