Art of any form is my primary interest. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} I am one of the founding members of PLAGUEWATER Brewing formed in Oakland, CA. For the past 9 years or so I have been brewing various beers and meads, mostly exotic or unusual in nature. I have experimented with countless plants and additives, ranging from spicy to narcotic, invigorating, stupifying, fungal, nutritous, and many with just plain old hops. I like to use belgian yeast strains because they are so flavorful, but I have been known to use the most obscure yeasts and ingredients I can get my hands on. I really love beer, and I would have to say my favorite conventional beers are, scotch ale, any variety of bock bier, and of course stout!{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ {{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I love to make jewelry art out of junk and decrepit natural materials. I blend chain mail and animal parts, rusted items, or anything that catches my eye. I strive to make heirloom ceremonial body dressings..{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}{ {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Music is very important to me.
