you can find my comics in nickelodeon magazine from time to time. you can find me sleeping on your floor after i play a show in your town from time to time. yes, i probably DO want to design a poster/album art for your show/band/event. my landlord no longer accepts rent in the form of cake, so i will have to be paid in money.So... I wrote a book. It's a funny how-to for teens (and up) forming bands. It'll be out in the fall of '08. Please go to your friendly neighborhood corporate giant bookstore and fork over your hard-earned cash for it.If I were a cop, I'd spend every day following smokers around and then bust them when they toss their butts on the ground. And I'd be a real prick about it. I'd also go under cover and bust people who swear or act inappropriately around kids. But... wait, Travis. Who says what's inappropriate? ME, that's who. I AM THE LAW.vegan (for ethical, health, environmental and spiritual reasons).

My Interests

rock, roll, art, freedom, veganism, organic gardening, non-fish stock miso soup, yelling at children, when vines grow on things, sitting around cashing fat checks, sweet potatoes, indie comics, jasmine rice, geese - especially canada geese, solar panels, zucchini, slow dancing, secret escapes, big fat noodles, scheming, mexico, things that are awesome, bamboo, vintage travel trailers, punching the air reeeaaal slow.

I'd like to meet:

fun people that DO things. people who get awesome. vulcans.DIY vegan fasionista revolutionaries with hearts of gold that love their mommies and don't do drugs.like-minded foreigners that live in houses that don't smell like dog pee and garbage. and if you don't put your grocery cart in the grocery cart booth-thingy after you load your groceries into your car, don't talk to me.also, i have enough 9/11 truth movement and government conspiracy people on my list now. yeah, i get PLENTY of bulletins and comments and messages about things i already know. so... i'm good. that's enough. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!I like music. But if you send me a crappy spam message saying, "Hey, man. What's up? Thought you'd like to check out our music!" I will spam-flag you. Then again, you probably aren't reading this anyway if you're just going around spamming people about your crappy band.why are you people making me so negative?!

Music:

phil collins and lionel richie and that's it.

Movies:

i really like rock and roll sci-fi. there's not much out there. but when i find it, you know, with lasers all BEORP! BEORP! and guitars all wailing and stuff and things blowing up and aliens are all YAAARRRGGG!!! and then the toms kick in DUN DUMPA DIGGA DUM DUM DUM!!! and then like an evil laugh BWA HAHAHA! and then the main dude is like NOW!! and the whole thing is like WHAMO!!!! and the guitars crank up even more CHICKA BUH DUH DEE DUUUUH!!!! --- man, i totally flip out when that happens.i also like stuff like say anything and amelie and punch-drunk love and lost in translation and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and say anything and p.t. anderson stuff and wes anderson stuff. yeah, i know. quelle suprise. and art documentaries that aren't boring. vampire movies. cult sci/fi and monster movies. and when it comes to special effects, i don't like 'em too special. i like to see strings. i like stop-motion. i like blue/green screen. i like seeing models of space ships flying through the air and knowing they're models. movies that are mostly CGI can bite my butt.

Television:

pee wee's playhouse, star trek (all series), the adventures of pete and pete, lost in space, curb your enthusiasm, reading rainbow, cbs sunday morning, prison break, veronica mars, cooking shows (especially iron chef, naked chef, post punk kitchen), wonder falls, gardening shows, building things shows, craft shows, lost, freaks and geeks, project runway / top chef / top design, inside the actors studio, cable access shows, battlestar gallactica (old and new), the shield ..... and pretty much anything with any of the following 1) crazy dinosaurs/monsters 2) frequent (l/ph)aser blasts 3) time travel 4) bickering italian/jewish families 5) swords 6) space travel 7) characters that are into comics and/or indie rock 8) characters that are in a band 9) so much blue/green screen. i mean... um... i don't watch tv.

Books:

the prophet, walden, art magazines, the alchemist, how to make stuff books, common sense, the declaration of independence, the constitution, his dark materials, captain underpants, indie comics, travelogues, atlases (atlasi?) and eastern philosophy (tao te ching, the way of chuang tzu, the tao of poo, i ching, zen in the marial arts, etc etc etc). what a dork. i like little fat books. i like feeling like i'm holding an awesome sandwich.

Heroes:

jim henson, shel silverstein, paul reubens, leVar burton, patrick stewart, paul zaloom, larry david.
