About Me

I am creative and smart. I spend most of my time doing artwork, writing, or reading. All three in a single day if I can. I have an active and strong intellectual curiosity. I am a fairly quiet person by nature, but much more talkative once you get to know me. I have a good sense of humor, though I must admit it is a bit odd and morbid at times. If you want to see more of my art, check out my website at JonahJacobs.comAlso, concerning my art, anyone may, for their own use, copy my artwork. Just give me credit and please do not profit off of my work. Show a little respect for the creative process, after all, I just gave you permission to use my stuff for free. If you want an original though, make me an offer or ask me how much a piece of my artwork sells for. All of my artwork is for sale, except of course, those pieces already marked "sold". So please, enjoy.

My Interests

Writing, art (creating and viewing), going to museums/galleries, nature, anything bizarre, philosophy, beauty, astronomy, literature, aesthetics, epistemology, secular humanism, social movements (i.e. greens, anarchism, socialism), hiking, traveling, the sublime, mysticism, science, and about a million other things. I also like tattoos and piercings. I have four piercings left, which is a far cry from the 12+ I used to have years ago.

Sex

When I was younger, a teenager perhaps, I developed a strong curiosity concerning other people's sex lives. Perhaps that's not entirely accurate. It's not people's sex lives that I am interested in pe...
