Congratulations! What? You were on the jumbotron.

About Me

"(Art)... rescues us from our self chosen triviality, to which we are so prone. It is like a deep organ note that makes my hair stir and a shiver run through me. I 'pull back' from life, like a camera taking a long shot with a wide angle lens. I quite simply become aware of more reality than before." -Colin Wilson (The Occult). I love this quote. Ever since I was able to hold a pencil, I was drawing and creating various visual elements. A talent that I've embraced since my childhood, I have carried over to today as I work full-time as 3D animator/designer. Besides the creative mumbo jumbo, I love spending time with friends and family. I love finding humor in random things. Payday candy bars are the shit. I'm a sports fanatic....Rosie O'Donnel sucks!...ummm more later...
