My Interests

Art. It's my life. I illustrate movie posters by hand. In other words, I paint movies. Most viewers mistake my art for photographs. I'm into creating cool art. Things that viewers have never seen before. I also paint on leather jackets, coats and boots. Martial-artist of shaolin hung-gar kung fu. Okinawan weapons practioner: nunchaku (blindfolded), sai, bo/staff. Film historian and Mustang car enthusiast and owner. Jersey/NYC-native. Eternal member of S.M.A.S.H.

Music:

I was a former club and hip-hop dj, so almost any music (but country). Fan of old school hip-hop. Tupac and Biggie were good, but the god is one word...RAKIM! That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it! TRUE dj's and mixers spin vinyl on turntables -not clicking on a laptop. Usually, I listen to dvd audio commentaries, scores and soundtracks. Favorite film composers: Vangelis, Howard Shore, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, James Horner, Graeme Revell and Eric Serra

Movies:

Almost anything, but musicals. Despise most if not, ALL remakes and Part III sequels -they usually suck. Best flicks: The original Halloween, the original Omen, the original Dawn of the Dead, Suspiria, any horror movie with Vincent Price, Saw, the first Friday The 13th, Carrie, Zombie, etc. Misc favorites: Face/Off, the first Die Hard, Jaws, The Godfather 1 and 2, Blade Runner, Enter the Dragon and any Bruce Lee joint, Glengarry Glen Ross, Mind Lies, Seven, Predator, Terminator 1&2, Road Warrior, Alien, Aliens, Heat, Sin City, Goodfellas, Bullitt, The French Connection, Scarface, Glory, Cooley High, Claudine, The Five Heartbeats, The Killer, Goldfinger, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Fugitive, Leo'n: The Professional and almost any film directed by Ridley Scott or John Woo. Too many to movies to name...

Television:

Usually, I never have the time, but if I had to choose: ENTOURAGE, NIP/TUCK.

Books:

Any book of art by FRANK FRAZETTA , THE 48 LAWS OF POWER- Robert Greene, FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY- Frank Miller.
