the long version of "about me":
I'm very dedicated to achieving my art goal/dream.
My priorities in life right now is to 1st focus all my energies/most of my time on attaining my goals in my career, giving it my all while I'm still young enough and can, try to get things established and then hopefully all the other pieces will fall into place and be better off for it. so yeah, I draw a lot and think about art a lot and spend a lot of time trying to improve and learn new things.
I've been pursuing my 1st love-illustrating comicbooks for most of my life and have recently(in 2006) decided to shift my focus more on doing illustrations and caricatures which I've always loved as well. I still love doing comics and will continue to do it, but I'm pursuing caricatures more aggressively at the moment. We'll see how that turns out. oh and if anyone wants to commission me for caricatures let me know :)
I'd like to think I'm a pretty nice and friendly person, I really try to be as those types of people make me feel good and I hope to return that great feeling back to others. Once you get to know me/I get to know you, I tend to open up more and goof around a lot and goof on people but it's all in good fun. If you're not having fun with it, then you probably won't see that side of me...unless you REALLY suck, then maybe i'll keep goofing on ya, heh ;). I'm pretty quiet sometimes and sometimes you can't shut me up. I REALLY don't want to be the annoying guy, so I can tend to be pretty quiet/shy at first, observing things until I figure out how much of me you can take/ I get a sign that you're cool with me/me being more me...and then I slowly open up and can get real chatty and silly. I work better the smaller the group and really enjoy one-on-one conversations or just smaller group conversations, y'know, cause sometimes you'll be in a deep strong opinioned discussion on something and it's good to have a tie breaker...y'know, to prove that I'm right, ;) heh. nah, I'm pretty open-minded and like a good strong opinioned disussion. I keep it friendly and civil.
I'm VERY interested in people and finding out what makes each person tick. It fascinates me. questions rock! I like asking questions. I'm not as much into the whole party/bar scene, smoke(booo)-filled crowded spaces, having to shout to talk to the person next to me so they can hear me. what? I said, "hear me", BUT I can still go with the flow at times. I don't take myself too seriously and am usually pretty happy-go-lucky, but I do have a serious side and will stand up for what I believe in as well as protect my friends and family fiercely.
I get along with pretty much everyone/lots of different types of people. if you are arrogant/cocky, disrespectful, dishonest, rude then I will not like you. If you are fake, are easily swayed by peer pressure, are afraid to have a certain opinion because it's not "cool", are judgemental, can't think outside the box at times, then we might not get along. be proud of the things you like and don't like(movies, music etc.) regardless of what anyone says.
not sure how all the above comes across...probably better to just get to know me and form your own opinoins or maybe ask people that know me, usually you can get some good insights by talking with those people...although there's only a few people that REALLY get me.
...there's 3 sides to every story: 1 side, the other side, and the truth. I just thought that's a cool saying I heard, there's not much drama in my life for it though, heh.
oh and if you have a question, ask me, if you ask someone else and they don't have their facts straight/came up with thier own wrong impressions and that's your answer you're going with then it's not my fault that you missed out on going straight to the actual source, just sitting right in front of you.
controlled chaos.
