About Me

To start off: Yes my real name is Echo, and NO my mother was not a hippy. I am a strange little girl, an aspiring artist of sorts, I am a megalomaniac and a DREAMER. I love fluffy things, and sarcasm and wit make me smile. Some of my favourtie past times include: watching movies, watching movies while cuddling under blankets, nature walks and mini adventures involving swing sets, playing dress up, good conversation with beer or coffee, playing chess, reading, playing with photoshop, taking pictures, and drawing and painting. I have a full-time job as a CTP operator... i work in computer Pre-press... basically i make plates and make pictures pretty. I hope to one day make a career off my photography and art, that is my true passion, not commercial lithographic printing (every artist needs a steady pay check). Photography forces me to see life in every detail... makes me appreciate the beauty infront of me, art is my release my escape from the mundane, my escape from my head. I love collaborating with others, creating ideas that we can work together and make tangible. I have an odd sense of humour, i sometimes offend people when i don't mean to. I can make anything into a sexual perversion, and i sometimes swear like a drunken sailor. I have my faults, every one does. I've been known to verbally castrate people when i'm angry... although thats not often. Those I love are my everything. I have no "happy medium"... I'm horrible with words hence my cave man approach to relate to people and express myself through images, and it may explain why this section is horribly written. I'm also spell check dependent. Any work posted here is available for purchase, feel to inquire on rates (for Portraits/Glamour/Live performance/Promotional photography) and prices (on finished art, or commisioned artwork)... i consider myself fairly reasonable... prices depend on the situation and the project. (yay for shamless self promotion!)****** a side note: No i do not WEB CAM or CYBER or nor will I consider being in your "Adult Film"... I'm glad you think i'm pretty but leave it at that... thank you.******I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

art is my life... i love it... i love to admire it and i love to create it. I love life, especially the small beautiful things. i like dark morbid cartoons. I describe my self as an extroverted introvert. My life is currently undergoing huge changes... it's scary. i love my cats and my gold fish (R.I.P BLUBBER). I find people interesting.... but i don't like most of them. I really like won ton soup, and watching porn for the plot lines. Music and raw emotion are my muse and I really, really love animals! I like wiggles and hugs... fudge and beff jerky is my some of my favourite foods... i drink Steam Whistle and Crown Royal... and love red wine. i strongly dislike people who take me for granted, and use me for my talents, or use my work without my permission... I like credit for my hard work... if you want to use any of my images... ASK ME!!

I'd like to meet:

Real people... i don't like the fake ones... anyone who wants to hire me, Anyone who would like to work with me, Any one who wants to give me money for no apparent reason, potential models, potential friends, other photographers and artsits, or just interesting creative folk and if 'ya wanna chat.... [email protected]... and no i don't cyber, so fuck off if that is the intention! SMILE!

Music:

Nine Inch Nails, tool, perfect circle, system of a down, david bowie, Dresden Dolls, Jack off jill, Queen, Beck, Dog Fashion Disco, Tub Ring,The Monks, Wumpscut, Depeche Mode,The TunaHelpers, Opeth, all kinds of cheesy 80's music, Led Zepplin, NIrvana, My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult, POE, Static X, Fear Factory, klute, MSI, Korn, Stabbing Westward, David Usher, Placebo,Prick, Chris Issac, the Cramps, and many more.... soooo much more...

Television:

i like Animal Planet, and shows that make you think (which is rare)....I really really like cartoons, South Park and family guy, and fututrama are my favourite generic ones, Invader Zim and my new obsession is The Venture Brothers cartoon and Frisky Dingo^_^, Big Love i find amusing, 6 Feet Under and Sex and the City, and but not reality t.v. Shows like The Simple Life make my brain rot. Roting brain is not good for making art. I'm curious of this show called 24... it has claimed my room mates.....

Brother's Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson, and Mother Goose... the old ones... not the modern ones. Random books on photography those illustrative phamplets the creepy religious folk hand out depicting my eternal damnation in hell.

Heroes:

my mom... as cliche as it may sound, Frida Khalo, EVAN STONE, the cheesiest porn star ever! god he makes me smile... and i'm sure there is more...hmmmmmmmmmmm
