About Me

....New York hardcore scene. Danceteria, Peppermint Lounge, A7, Pyramid, Milk Bar, Lismar Lounge. Fashion Institute of Technology. Played bass and sang for The KGB. Victor Coffin Daggers, Nausea Reagan Youth on guitar and Fred Armisen, well known comedian and Saturday Night Live resident, well he played drums and made me laugh. Alas!, King of Kings, ambitious, psychedelic, metal trio playing bass and singing. A headline at Limelight lead to a signing by Tom Zutaut (Guns n Roses, Kitaro, Motley Crue, Tesla, Metallica to name a few) to Geffen records. Michelle Anthony. First album was produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, the Cars, Ozzy) and second Cd with Jim Mitchel (G&R), and Chris Rankin (Crosby Stills and Nash, Carol King). Had a clothing line called Grandville for a while, art directed for a while, ducked out for a few...focused on going as far out there as I could...then did some recordings at Knitting Factory in 2001 with Max Vanderwolf (Naked Sun and Last Man Standing) which led to a publishing deal with Universal out of Berlin and Hamburg. Did a CD for them in Lubeck, Germany. A few more years of insanity....oh yeah, then got signed to Wilhelmina and did some commercials, indie movies and whatnot...Working on a series of large scale pieces/paintings using the lewdest of mediums. "A Tear Drop Tattoo" (tentative title) near completion. Non linear autobiographical short stories. "Dead Eye and Littles", the novel thats been in the works for around six years is at a graspable distance and will be shopping for a publisher when slightly further completion.

The Distance

I measure the distance I have travelled in this life by the desolation that surrounds me. Water splattered all around on cue at every break from transmission.. Who's that? Who's that? Who's that?...

Obligated to Die in the Gutter

 I hate when they talk of my past as if I were a failure. I'm still alive and that is more important than a lot of trivial successes I can think of. There is more than one way to die, and I was dying ...

Beauty, torn from the footlights...mute harmony

Love is kept in existence only by painful anxiety. I came so close to speaking my mind, my desire, my expanse of longing, however I dare not reveal my inner flame. Love, in the painful anxiety as in t...

The moon smiled down upon us

What is it inside of me that propells this relentless drive for expression? The separation of person and self is quite distinct, and appears directional. But directionless as time, its direction seems...

The most beautiful..rough

 Honey was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life. The last time we met I saw that the world had not been as kind to her as it once was. Like an innocent little sadistic boy pulls ...

You Gently Break The Stems Off Stars

Tranquility of Bliss...I Thou I It

Spirit/Theatre

Spirit. Whats to say of this word. It feels as if it is some lonely ghost to whom one would wish to lend a sheet to. To study philosophy, read all the great works of literature, to tremble at the feet...
