About Me

An artist/ illustrator/ designer and alt model.
A part-time insomniac. A walking, talking contradiction of myself. A chameleon who appears and functions differently from day to day. Just as well... variety is the spice of life, I say.
A separate site for my art is on the way... I will post a link when it is finished.
It's called myspace, not my life!
Feel free to add, comment or message, as long as it's not spam (as if spammers bother to read this) or something completely ignorant (which should serve as indication that someone has too much spare time :).
