The Velveteen Touch of a Dandy Fop

About Me

..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile EditorHello, my name is Mat and I am originally from Malden, MA …raised in Detroit, MI and grew up in South Florida…Here’s a lil bit about me, I hope you enjoy… let’s see where should I begin?I am an artist so I can draw shit that you can't!Ha ha ha, sorry I was being loud there wasn’t I?I have lived off and on in Orlando for the last 10 years or so, went to college at Full Sail for Computer Animation and thought enough of the city to stay longer than I imagined. As I mentioned above I am an artist, mainly drawing and painting (acrylics mostly), and I do commission work on the side for friends and of course private parties looking for design work (t-shirts, logo, stickers, tattoo’s etc..), but other than that I am a recruiter for a company based in Maitland (no I will not find you a job!), I live in the Downtown Orlando area, so I do like to take advantage of my surroundings by going out to dinner, a concert/show, or to a bar/club (on occasion), I enjoy cooking (yes ladies, I can cook), music, movies, and all the stuff that everyone else enjoys but I am much cooler than they are!I am originally from Malden, Massachuesetts (the accent only comes out from time to time), I was raised in Detroit, and grew up in South Florida so I would say I have a very diverse group of friends and view on things, whether its politics, music, comic books (I like pictures!), popular culture, or just random bullshit I would say that I definitely have an opinion on it!Lets see, what else… hmm, oh I can be sarcastic and I enjoy laughing At people, not With them, so please learn how to take a joke otherwise we might have some compatibility issues… Oh and one more thing, I have a nice butt so if and when you see it please be nice, slapping and grabbing makes me feel like a piece of meat and I don’t like to be used .. ha ha ha
