About Me

My name is Pablo. I was born in Los Angeles but have lived in the Northwest most of my life. My family is primarily Chilean. Spanish is my second language but I am fluent. I currently live in Vancouver, WA and hate it with a passion. It is a suburban nightmare that keeps sucking me in like an evil blackhole. Luckily, I've avoided the "Vancouver Syndrome". What the hell is that, you ask? Well... let me tell you! If you aren't a conservative republican, mormon, married by the time your 18, have more than 10 kids before you turn 25, own a golden retriever or drive an enormous gas-guzzling pick-up truck on a lift kit (A.K.A the redneck's penis car), then you might as well be a baby eating satanist.
I'm a big day-dreamer and a bit of a goofball. I tend to hog the spotlight sometimes. I have been called a "weirdo" and I consider it a compliment. I admire eccentric artists who don't "fit a mold". I find humor in everything and it sometimes gets me in trouble. I have a tendency to hold grudges when someone upsets me (I'm working on it). I'm very family oriented. As lame as it sounds, my true best friends are my younger brother and sisters.
I'm a freelance graphic designer. I love everything about design whether it be graphical, industrial, apparel, or interior design. I wanna do it all. I received my bachelor's degree in graphic design at the Art Institute of Portland. I plan to go to school again real soon to study web design. I consider myself to be a "multi-task" artist. I paint, draw, sculpt, take photographs, craft, etc. I have ongoing plans to visit Paris, France for a museum tour. Wanna tag along? Let's talk.

My Interests

Music, paintings, design, fashion, film, photography, and people inspire me. I enjoy traveling. I love horror movies, electronica, cheap wine, classic cartoons, my Ipod, ugly dogs, Thai Food, snow, Will Ferrell, surrealist art, and an occasional club hop.

I like seeing girls in retro style glasses, dudes that can rock a pink shirt, a warm towel straight out of the dryer, the waft of cologne made when flipping through fashion magazines, old Volkswagen Beetles, stale marshmellow peeps, playing The Sims 2 on my Mac (I've come to terms with my nerdiness), the color orange, old men with funny moustaches, Halloween...

I hate the smell of tartar sauce, people who enjoy watching "Sex in the City", the sound of knives being sharpened, George W. Bush, tabloid magazines, pineapple on pizza, girls that wear too much make-up, bedhead, American Idol, cinnamon flavored candy, Paris Hilton and people that find her appealing, mango fruit (although I oddly eat anything artificially mango flavored), long greeting card messages, any movies with Vin Diesel, parallel parking, people that abuse emoticons...

I'd like to meet:

My own little totoro.

I've finally rid myself of all the "drama queens" in my life, so if you've got baggage... BOUNCE! I'm not looking to hook-up on here cause I've already gone down that dissappointing route. I guess some things are still learned the hard way. LOL! I'm a very easy-going guy, so I'd love to meet the same kind of people. I love surrounding myself with people that are geniune, cultured, open-minded, outgoing, passionate, courteous, funny and creative. Sound like you? Hit me up!

If I was granted the chance to meet a celebrity, from the past or present, it would either be Bjork, Sean Penn, Amy Sedaris, Jack Black, Hayao Miyazaki, Will Ferrell, Chris Farley, Robert Smith, Angelina Jolie, Monica Belluci, Quentin Tarintino, Pedro AlmodÃ³var, Michel Gondry, Spike Jones, John Waters, Peter Jackson, Bruce Campbell, Chris Cunningham, Takashi Murakami, David LaChapelle, Hype Williams, Steve O, Allison Goldfrapp, Gael Garcia Bernal, Johnny Depp and as cliche as this might sound... Jesus. I've got a major bone to pick with that man.

Your Score: Jerri Blank

Your in the 92 percentile, well done.

Either you manipulated the results or your the biggest slut/man whore since Jim Bakker. In any case kudos, you beat the system, or it beat you, anyway you're still around and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... and fatter ....and louder ...and more obnoxious.

The Strangers With Candy Character Test

Music:

Popular music sucks. Plain and simple. To say that I listen to everything is ambiguous. I listen to some rock and alternative hip-hop but my prefered genre will always be electronica. I love it hard and dirty. I listen to electro, techno, house, ghettotech, industrial, synthpop, EBM, drum & bass, hardcore, jungle and everything else in between.

Movies:

I love watching all kinds of movies but my prefered genre absolutely has to be horror. The gorier, the better! My favorite horror movie to this day is the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Television:

I think "prime time" television boring. There is an over abundance of cookie cutter shows that feature criminal investigators, the stupid guy married to a sassy wife, pretty witches, young superheroes, and so on. I absolutely loathe most reality TV. It's boring and I think filler for the most part. I love watching oddball comdies. Anything that is campy, lewd, gross, bizzare or politically and socially incorrect gets my interest and has me laughing my ass off. Some of my favorite TV shows are Strangers With Candy, The Kids In The Hall, Jackass, The Sarah Silverman Program, anything on Adult Swim, Wondershowzen...

Books:

I don't read as often as I would like to, but I do enjoy reading a good novel now and again. My favorite book, still to this day, is Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations".

Heroes:

I'm inspired by other artists and innovators. People who push buttons and cross boundries in their own creative expressions motivate me. People like Bjork, Andre 3000, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Marcel Duchamp, Richard Avedon, Andy Warhol, and Egon Shiele.
