Ad absurdum

About Me


I am a painter recording absurd nuances of my mind. I value a sense of humor; an enjoyment of absurdity, which at times reveals more of a darker twist to the psyche. I love to create and participate in experiences that transcend beyond the self...I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
