About Me

Born in Minneapolis, currently rockin St. Louis, I am a shredmaster-o-tron, art maker, nice guy, and a high fiver. I'm really into my wife, graffiti and playing my brand of acoustic madness. I've been documenting graffiti since 1996 and I have a page on flickr.com that showcases over 800 pics I've taken in the Twin Cities. I'm always adding more. Check out flickr.com/photos/artfinder12 for that stuff. I just started a page for St. louis graffiti as well. That's flickr.com/photos/artfinder12-2. I also have a YouTube page with graffiti vids, cat stuff, drunk friends and whatever else I decide to post. My screen name is Godzillarmy.

My Interests

Playing guitar, my special brand of Acoustic Madness, my wonderful, perfect wife Lisa, Comics, Hunter Rose, graffiti, got about 5000 flicks of that shit, 400 more with my other camera, Walks in the woods, drinking, hangin with Dan, tattoos, Heavy Metal, Pizza, LOVE Pinball, asking why, reading, coffee, cool breezes on hot days, my birthday, and finally, you.
