Ceramics Drawing Glass Graphic Design Music Painting Photography Sculpture Space Planning Videography WritingI have a fair amount of background in biology and related sciences, too. I eat red meat, drink beer, and even watch NASCAR from time to time. I guess you could call me a hi-tech, red-neck.I do photography (black-and-white and color) and graphic design in tradition and digital media. I also do painting and drawing in traditional and digital media, sculpture (I would kill for a rapid proto-typer - voxels rather than pixels), ceramics, and creating audio and video pieces.In my previous lifetime (before being physically disabled), I was a strength coach and athletic trainer. I worked as a Fitness Specialist at a large metropolitan athletic club doing fitness evaluations, personal training, etc. Before that I worked as a trainer at a smaller fitness facility. I also had extensive experience as a lifeguard and pool operator and had a knack for keeping even the most temperamental aquatic facilities functioning smoothly. I used to teach swimming and diving as a Water Safety Instructor.Oh well, you have to roll with the punches.
Artists and designers working in various 2-D visual media and music, in various 3-D media, and in various "4-D" (moving in time and/or space) media including animation, dance, theater arts, and video. Especially, those artists interested in representing males in various art forms and males interested in modeling.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
I am pretty flexible. I like variety but also like pieces that are well composed, well arranged, and well matched to the artist performing the piece. It would be nice if they had some sense of music, of multi-part harmony, and of performance. It would also be nice if the performer knew how to use a microphone. I do not particularly like music that mongers hate and fear.These are some artists whose works I generally like.
