About Me

What I'm NOT: hip, rockabilly, punk, post-modern, ironic, cool, multi-cultural, cybernetic, buff, cartoonish, outrageous, uninspired, naked, electable, "clear," barbaric, nihilistic, illiterate, vegan, xenophobic, even-keeled, fuschia, hypnotic, ultrasheen, redundant, redundant ********************************************************** What I AM: none of the above

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who believes that craft is just as important as vision. People who love their creative lives, yet know how much hard work exists when attempting to tap into those reservoirs of imagination, technique and talent. Those who are willing to struggle to find the beauty in the murky depths, the order in the madness, are the people I find to be the most extraordinary partners and mentors. These are the people I'd most like to meet.
