As if the Kellers had a little retarded sister.

About Me

I’m a low budget version of the Renaissance man, chasing a multitude of artistic ambitions despite my shortcomings, mostly because I simply enjoy them. I used to stumble into instruments in a Batcave project called Crocodile Club and have since taken the remains of that project as well as several new ideas to construct a psychedelic Frankenstein's monster with my paramour. The result will be a double album available only to friends and colleagues called Peppermint Pumpkin. I attempt painting, though not as often as I’d like and much more than I should. I think of flying beds to help me fall asleep and once had a strict requirement that in order to date me, a girl had to be either a visual artist, dancer, actress, musician, model, or secretary. My current ambition is to spend the night in Maniac Mansion for a million dollars and convince a choreographer that we need to bring synchronized swimming numbers back to Hollywood .
