About Me

This is me. This is my profile. Aren't you excited? I'm a web designer and graphic artist. I have my own little art/design/illustration company called Weyakin Designs . Weyakin Designs is now on MySpace:
Thanks for adding!
Weyakin Designs new website is now online! Please feel free to follow the link and take a look.

I sing, play percussion instruments, a little of wind instruments, and piano and would love to learn more instruments. I sometimes sing and play various wind and percussion instruments for the ambient project, Droune. I'm working on a new music project which is due to emerge sometime in the not-too-distant future hopefully. I also sometimes play other music with other folks. I paint and draw and create digital and photographic artwork. I also sometimes work in the realm of jewelry making. I love to sew and create my own costumes and clothing. I'm an advanced Reiki practitioner, I'm slightly obsessed with wolves, and I like to make veggie sushi. I'm a vegan, a dork, and a spiritual (but not religious) kind of person. I like doing things in such a way to makes less of an impact on the environment. I'd like to get a hybrid, greasecar, or other fuel-efficient alternative vehicle someday. We finally have our own house now, so we're slowly trying to make it as energy efficient as we can. I will eventually have a goat..or two!
