It Never Was

long as i can see the light

About Me

Fine artist. Current passion is stone lithography. when i cannot gain access to lithography presses and i need to create , I will paint , draw , and possibly do relief aka woodcuts or linocut prints.
There is much to say but I'll keep it simple. I enjoy most forms of self expression. Music nerd. Cooking and exercise for fun. I am into clean living however I do not like to preach about it. Striving for inner peace so that I may extend peace outward.
I am tired of all the porno and gratuitous violent art that exists. It has its place if that is what you like but 99% of it is trash and is not art in its purest highest form.
I am fascinated by mostly all cultures and am trying to learn other languages, starting with Svenska and then Espanol.
I enjoy reading whenever there is time. if any of this is the least intriguing get in touch, let's chat.

My Interests

languages and other cultures, self help and psychology, the occult, deviant and criminal minds, true crime, sciences, cooking, being better @ math, Comedy, Howard Stern, skateboarding and its culture, underground and some mainstream music.
old video games, star wars trilogy, 70's and 80's pop culture, Non alcoholic beverages and drinking them, ARIZONA 23.5 oz 99 cent cans, certain board games, fitness, refer to above.

I'd like to meet:

Other fine artists , mystics, teachers, musicians who may want to jam, Charles Cushing, a master printer/teacher to help me hone my powers, and a patron or two for my art would be nice thx. I like to meet real people who share some common interests, apparently this is asking too much or I am socially inept.
