About Me


I'm a starving artist/illustrator in Southern Cal (starving by choice).

I love music. I love to run. I love to run to music. You can find me violently happy at any Starbucks or club/Rave/whatever dance floor.

I'm finally putting up something on the web...my real website/portfolio will happen someday.

But for now, I'd rather run.

To music.

My Interests


Running, Working Out, Starbucks, Running, Apple, H+M, Christian Dior, Adidas, BAPE, Juicy Couture (Men's), Nike, Nintendo, Phantasy Star, Zelda, Toys, Running

I'd like to meet:

My evil twin...we'll take each other down (I'll win of course). Wait a minute...whoever said I was the "good" twin?
