My Interests

I'd like to meet:


professionally
John Lasseter : the disney of this generation
Peter de Seve : illustration hero*
Joss Whedon : pop culture innovator

*i actually met de Seve. i whimpered, "i love your work." that's how cool i am.

historically
Theodore Roosevelt

others
friends, old and new. enemies, so i can keep you close to me. people who are famous. people who are not. people who do what i do. people who don't. in short, people.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds might have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena... who--at the worst--if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.


Theodore Roosevelt | Paris Sorbonne | April 23, 1910
