Drawing, photography, 3D animation, movies, mma, art or anything creative. I also like to engage my mind with a touch of philosophy, keep in shape with running and hacky sack and maintain my sanity via spending time with my wife and kids.
I'd like to meet:
Artists*, people who are interested in art or those who can broaden my thinking. I'm looking for people to criticize, scrutinize, and dismantle my work until there's nothing left but the good stuff. I'm tired of being just a mediocre artsy guy and want to get excellent, so forget about my feelings. *Musicians, illustrators, videographers, printmakers, painters, sound designers, photographers, art lovers, writers, martial artists or any other creative and/or skilled practitioner.
