Painting with oils and other toxic substances, design, live music, cooking for you, eating (curries, sushi, anything with avocado, mint chocolate chip ice cream... I eat everything), Spain, England, Mexico, New York, trains, abandoned or in process urban structures, sand and water, abstract expressionism, German expressionism, Photoshop, my high definition flat screen monitor, my Volvo S40, walking in LA, kitties and doggies and animals in general...
...imagining what I would do if I won the lottery, alcohol, wierd freaks of nature, being alert, brains, kindness, silliness, dry humour, spelling words in the Queen's English, strong faces, big eyes, nice skin, reading in bubble baths, Cosabella knickers, lavender and lilies, cologne, cozy attacks, staying in bed all day and ordering delivery for two, a nice big... pillow, having breakfast at 2pm, and assassinating the Bush administration.
If you'd like to see my artwork and design, check out my website here .
I'd like to meet:
Most of all artists and patrons of the arts. Also... muses, gypsies, princes, romantics, people with stories to tell and stories to create and cool people with warmth. I'm not interested in curmudgeons, slackers, people that keep you waiting, and Dave Matthews fans... but I AM interested in people that want to go deepsea diving, searching for turtles.

BUT I cannot stress enough how much I fucking DESPISE all numetal, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Hoobastank and the GooGooDolls... It's an immediate deal breaker if you like any of these 'bands.' I'm serious. You don't have to like what I do to be my friend, but if I don't respect your taste in music I don't respect you. End of story.
