I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

All I really want to do with my life is make some paintings and a record that I'm happy with. My friends are the best that anyone could ever ask for. I have a job at the record store I've been wanting to work at since I was a kid, and basically get paid to listen to and talk about music all day. The kindly bartenders and baristas of Tallahassee know my name and what I drink. There's always books to read, guitars to play, records to spin, movies to see, and a warm bed to sleep in when the day's done. I live a pretty charmed life. A Range Life.

My Interests

Russian Itinerant painters, the smell of old books, Odd Nerdrum, towels right out of the dryer, Murphy's Irish Stout, Barbeques, Mel Brooks, impasto, polyrhythms, getting dressed up for no reason, Audrey Kawasaki, vinyl crackles, museums, cooking, eBay, delay and reverb pedals, oil paint, sleeping in, coffee, reading, psychedelia, Jameson, sing-alongs...
