About Me

i can almost see the forest for the trees. Trees are beautiful, but if you can't see the forest you get lost. I get lost sometimes, but i don't mind.click here for my online sketchbook(x), and here t'see some animation(x)

My Interests

drawin' animations, sculpting, painting, playin music that makes me feel somethin, writing stories, and poems, swimmin in mountain streams, snowboardin, and teaching it. teaching anything I know, learnin anything I can. Salamanders, and spiders, bears and foxes, snakes and bandicoots. hugs n' kisses.

I'd like to meet:

This is it, your only chance, and already its on its way out the door, heading towards its dependable used car, and a destination you'll never see. Raise your hand if you remembered today that theres no way you could ever understand this place. Raise your hand if you felt like you wouldn't mind if you were in the right company. Raise your hand if you're ready to dash to the door and jump in front of the stationwagon carrying your dream, the christmas present you always wanted, and prince-fucking-charming and his tattoos. In the end, all you have is a story, and who wants to hear about how much tv you watched, or what kind of pants you bought. Nope, the audience wants to hear about that time that prince charming ran you over outside your parents house.write me, I don't care who you are, I want to know who you are. 'specially if you have magic powers like me.

trial, but not by fire. haste of action, and opinion.

  I've tread water for so long, that i have a laugh for every moment that can't drown me,   we are on trial, but not by fire, judges, jurors and the past, huddled, murmer.  I think ...

i guess i wouldn't know where to start,  i appraise, wait, pray, lost whispering words.  I'm betrothed to the beyond and i can't say i mind - 'cept its lonely out here, and a companion, insi...

you probably wouldn't understand

Well there was a chance for us. a silly and slight-handed last gasp of a dance for us.   we turn away, we go, the thoughts for another, one other.  there maybe a tomorrow, a silken fa...

let the cards decide for themselves

She places two cards down, throws a drink back. Child lives for smiles, oughta've been a clown, never relents when she's on the attack.  She sits up brightly, pushes her eyes into her head. ...

the reason i forgot to smile for so long

this last draught takes me down. those feather soft thoughts let whisper foreign foothills, let scream my nausea, this bitter taste, this sorry waste. i've seen you, awake in your coma, i see you bru...

breakfast in bed-stuy

I walked into the local rice and beans joint at about one p.m., it was slightly after lunchtime, so business was still brisk, there were a few laborers warming up from the chilly day over bowls of bee...

to the lively sleeper and me

to triangulate, fine sand through gills of time, hand fills once, twice, swept aside. a Life lived best, with eyes widened, sleep for rest, never to hide. we fear nothing.

build yourself a cathedral, tell yourself you need her. one woven bone, fractured, one thoughtless song captured the veil off the harmony soft. I have what i want and thats more than I've lost...

i'll just keep living then

Let me crack like an egg, leave my thoughts, cold yolk and ashes screaming from the parking lot, missions came and left empty spots.shot soldiers die with the sound of leaves falling in the forest, no...
