Knoxville based metal artist. Blacksmith and farrier work. Accepting commisions. Stainless steel and aluminum repair and fabrication. I donate my time and work to worthy organizations."this is who I am, what I do, and what I say, if you like it, let it be, if you don't, please do the same. I fight with love. I laugh with rage. you gotta live light enough to see the humour and long enough to see some change. -Ani Knoxville based metal artist. Blacksmith and farrier work. Accepting commisions. Stainless steel and aluminum repair and fabrication. I donate my time and work to worthy organizations.I love to love. I study to be a Sufi, which i already am. I get stressed when i am around people too much. Except for this one person, but that is a different kind of story. I seek solace in natural places and with animals. I was born to be around horses. When i am with them all all worries seem to subside. I love shoeing horses and helping these huge athletes move to the best of their ability. I love when i can help a lame horse be sound again with comfy shoes. Horses are beautiful.

Music:

Music that moves me. Shaking your booty music. Make you think music. Motivate you to stand up music, relax you music, strange instruments in music, rhythm music, loud music. I just love all good music of any genre.
You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.

Movies:

Which fucked-up genius composer are you?
Captain Beefheart... you are one of the first modern fucked-up geniuses. When it comes to creating, you rank right up there with the likes of James Mangan, John Wilmot and Edvard Munch.

Heroes:

those who choose to b, different as it may be to b yourself. Play your own drum.Ghandi pissed alot of people off for being peaceful. Sometimes being right doesn't make everyone happy. I admire him and his wife.I admire those who express their renegade longings in wholesome ways. Like rebelling against seemingly nice people who use openness and politeness to manipulate people into doing things their way.My fist is clenched in tender salute to those who take whatever extreme measures are necessary to prove that freedom must be reinvendted and reclaimed everyday of your life.Those who choose to act with their hearts no matter the consequences.Mother Theresa, she pissed the institution of the church off more than once.My mother, she got kicked out of Catholic school. and for many other reasons.Heros happen everyday even though they may not be on the news. Real heros don't need recognition and often don't get it.
