About Me

It's all about the beat......some would call me a suppossed former infatuatuion junkie... but nowadays i live my life as a DJ and Artist and Educator......MY LIFE AS A DJ..... Dj Roo 10 years on Wkdu 91.7 fm, Drexel University's student run radio, although i graduated some time ago (1998) I continue to bring the beats to the city of brotherly love. My style is trance/progressive/break beats. For the summer my show will move to TUESDAYS 9AM-NOON. www.wkdu.orgMY LIFE AS AN ARTIST... For as long as i can remember I have been making art. Taking photographs, creating mixeed media shadow boxes (think Joesph Cornell) and creating collages. Some of my inspirations are Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Mary Blair, Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin, Claudine Hellmuth just to name a few... I summer in upstate New York in Moravia and work with the Oiseaux Sisters. They have been a driving force that has helped me refocus my visions and make art a daily practice. see my work in book arts on www.oiseuxsisters.com look for mail art...MY LIFE AS A TEACHER.... I have been teaching art for 6 years, the past three at Philadelphia Electriclal and Technology Charter High School,(say that 3 times fast) in center city. I love my job and my students. They are my greatest teachers and inspire me daily to look beyond and think more....... and be more....
adopt your own virtual pet!I came into this world alone And then a stranger slapped me hard Opened my eyes - said, “breathe” So I began – on my ownI fell into the madding crowd Floating on a sea of hands Some deceived – some just need Some have helped me find my way homeI turned to you to make me whole To be the earth around my sun But you were half a person too Incomplete souls can not be oneI’d walk a thousand miles for you Praying for strength– searching for truth in my soul No one can love me like I do So I walk a thousand milesWritten by J. Scott G., Kathy Fisher & Ron Wasserman
