About Me

I have two cats; Muffin and Sebastian. My apartment is on the fourth floor and when I look out the windows it seems as if I'm living in a tree house. I make drawings of highly improbable situations taking absurdity to the point of no return. I take pictures of the world in fragments deciding myself what context these places or things have in my reality. I want to get back to making videos very much like my drawings. Either way I have fun. My dreams are entertaining if only I could remember them. I walk a lot, ride buses, and trains because every driver in the Chicagoland area makes me nervous. I also would like to move into the Oak Park library but it seems libraries are not exactly appropriate living spaces.
