I really dont know what else to say anymore......... my ADD is acting up. Oh yeah check out my website www.artbyrude.net . I do both 2D and 3D artwork. .. make

My Interests

Im a really nice guy, easy to get along with, and most people consider me to be hilarious for some reason. I tend to look at life as every day is a valuable day, and we should make the best of it. I love life and I will always cherish the fact that I am alive and happy. I like people that arent fake, the ones that you see around you that either dont seem to ever go away or the ones that show that they care. In other words, I am a huge people person. I also work at EA Mythic as a World Artist on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Check it...

I'd like to meet:

uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh i would like to meet anybody. i like people cause im a people person, but if i could meet anyone it would probably be my favorite comedians: Redd Foxx, Andy Kaufman, John Belushi, Dane Cook, Jim Breuer, Conan O'brien, Robin Williams, Bill Hicks, Sacha Baron Cohen, Hunter S. Thompson, Richard Pryor, or Bill Cosby. yeah, thats right Cosby............you know he is the man. Check out Paper Rude 2!
