Hail, savior of the universe!

About Me

I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

I like to think and sit still; help other people think and if I can teach them something. I like to look and listen to things, eat good food with real folk, and have interesting conversations with people that know more than I do. When I'm home I like to have breakfast with my father every Sunday morning and go antiquing with my mother. I like the feeling of working hard all day, being tired, and when it's all said and done, coming home to the beautiful person that I love.

My work just got accepted by Three Walls to be added to their "Artist Files". Three Walls is a non-for-profit visual arts gallery in Chicago.

I'm also a member of the writer's and artist's collective RE: .
