I'm a math nerd, and i like trying to teach people how to count to 1023 on their fingers : using binary :)
Favorite artists include:
Alfonse Mucha
Alex Grey
MC Escher
Pablo Picasso
HR Giger
Salvador Dali
& Andy Worhol
The latter has made me realize a passion for pop culture, especially the legendary icons: Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn, The Beatles, etc, all the way up through Marilyn Manson, who was obviously out to exploit the connections we all make to the icons of our culture...
people who get my movie quotes :)
