About Me

i work at a tiny print shop and am paid to do lots of other stuff that has nothing to do with my job as a press operator/designer, which i suppose would be one of the primary driving forces behind my desire to go back to go school. i am currently pursuing a BFA in sculpture at a school that has little respect for anything other than the performing arts, so we'll see how that all pans out. perfectly willing to accept donations to help further my work *wink wink, nudge nudge*. when not working, either in the studio or in a dimly lit warehouse, i move around with a two wheeler betwixt me legs.

My Interests

stuff and things and things that involve stuff. i also likes me the two wheelers. i condition and brush my chest hair regularly too.

I'd like to meet:

i wish i could have met mark sandman

Music:

stereolab, steely dan, new bomb turks, morphine, clutch, huey lewis and the news.....

Movies:

snatch, lock stock, and anything involving my man chuck bronson

Books:

i would really like to add a veritable library of profound works to impress even the most discerning critic, but alas, i haven't....i get a kick out of anything Vonnegut as far as fiction. i have been trying to build up a substantial collection of biographies on the artists from which i gather my inspiration; Sol LeWitt, Isamu Noguchi, David Smith, and so on.

Heroes:

the working class and hard workers everywhere who get short changed and exploited on a daily basis both by the signers of paychecks and the clientele base.someone who can teach me to keep up the battle and maintain sanity in the process

My Blog

i cannot think of a clever title

Well i suppose i am in a bit of a writing mood because i feel it necessary to post yet another entry.  As many of you know i have gone in with Sally and Shane to get a studio space to get some mu...
