About Me



I am an art historian & music journalist, very happily married to the most wonderful & beautiful girl I have ever met - lucky me!!



My Interests



Music, playing guitar, electric guitars generally, watching movies, vinyl records (though I do also buy CDs),

painting/drawing/ art, comics, books, 16/17th century poetry, mythology, the occult, gothicness,

history, fantasy/sf art (Boris Vallejo, Peter Jones, Jim Burns etc etc), anything tacky/tasteless/kitsch,

probably lots of other stuff...As well as liking the above (and lots more) I strongly dislike the following -humorlessness (sp?), nazism, fascism, racism, sexism, patriotism, homophobia, cruelty to animals, religious fundamentalism, stupidity, especially when it's intentional and yet not amusing (I quite like it when it's amusing) and relentless negativity, so i guess I should end this list...
