Free Myspace Layouts by MyspaceLayoutSpy.com
Monster Myspace Layouts I am a Metro-Dertoit based Artist. I work with many mediums, including water colors, oil pastels, acrylics, ink and pencil drawings, Wood sculptures, etc...simply put, "I just love to create". I am the proud Father of the most beautiful Daughter in the world (Lauren) and I am married to superwomen (Michelle), at least that's how I feel about her. I love Pre-Columbian Archaeology of the America's (north, central, and southern). I'm very into the Inca, Aztec, Toltec, Maya and the rest of the mysterious ancient societies... I love caves and river's, Tornadoes and Thunderstorms... And last but not least- I am a big fan of Beer.

Music:

Heavy Metal, blues, good old fashion Rock and Roll,............

Movies:

Crumb, Saving private Ryan, Josey Wales, Pulp fiction, The Godfather-(part one and two), The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Marvel Comic's Animated feature movies. The Alien series including the Predator vs. Alien combination series as well. The Blade series rock's, too.
