About Me

Hello. My name is Alexis. I make things. Books, art, stuff like that. I've been making things my whole life, but no one ever taught me how to sell them. I quit my job lat a bar, though, to see if I can figure it out. So let's see.

My Interests

I like art. I make things a lot. A lot of the things I make are kind of steampunk. I also like old fashioned illustrations.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I like the sound you get when you throw keys up in the air, before they hit the ground. The sound they make in the air.

Movies:

Wizard of Oz, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman (the old one), Beauty and the Beast, V for Vendetta, The Little Mermaid, Big Fish, Sweeney Todd, The Departed, Gangs of New York, Clerks, Clerks II, Nacho Libre (really.), Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Television:

Cartoons, and the history channel. And the Twilight Zone, they show that late at night on Sci-Fi channel. And Star Trek. Mostly The Next Generation.

Books:

I read too many comic books. All of them. I find books with a whole lot of words difficult to get through. I don't know why. When I was a kid I wrote backwards and couldn't read well. Also I can't read out loud. I like Harry Potter, though.

Heroes:

I don't know, when I was a kid and they asked this question I always wrote about fictional characters.

Here’s why I don’t like Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus.

I feel bad for the kids on the Disney Channel, I really do. Disney controls their whole childhood, their puberty is televised and scrutinized by the public, and they don't really have a prayer of mov...

Here’s what’s up.

So, in spite of our most valiant efforts last night, the basement flooded again. It didn't come in under the door this time, I think the water is just coming up through the foundation in the boiler r...

Indiana Jones on TV

So I'm watching Indiana Jones on TV and I realized it's the first time I've really watched it in a few years, probably since I was a teenager. I realized after watching it this time that Indy has sex...

The great interior flood of 2008

I posted some pictures of our flooded basement. It was pretty bad, lots of standing water and stuff. It's dry now, but I think we should probably call the landlord, I don't know if it's gonna mold o...

Look at my new paintings

I posted three new paintings in my images section. Two are concept paintings for something I'm writing and a painting of Delerium, based on the potos I took. I think I'm going to re-paint the deliri...

This is probably not news to anyone else, but I finally realized last weekend that I am a spaz. I realized this because I was explaining how I got lost for 3.5 hours in New York after I got off the b...
