About Me


ok, so i'm an artist. i make strange video installations, peformance pieces, photographic prints du jour, and awesome art trouble. the art axe of death, which was once sadly retired, has been resurrected to show the likes of artist wannabees that they suck.
ok, so i like to cause ruckus at 80's night.. but in normal everyday life I'm pretty chill and fun. i like to do dorky things like read books and make intellectual art, but also like to go out and have fun in different parts of the city... which part mainly depends on what day it is and which friends i'm with.
i like tofu, when its GOOD, not when its shitty. i like black clothing and diesel jeans, ikea furniture and thrift store finds, i am obsessed with binary code and the possibility that digital technology is seeping into our veins in some odd cultural way and thus i make art out of it. i have a lipring, but i take it out at work so the elders don't decide to fire me for being strange. i have big earings, but not too big, they are just the right size for me.
Work takes me to Ithaca during the school year currently, which is not my favorite city ever. I like big cities...like Pittsburgh and NYC and Boston... This will be amended soon ;P If you're in the know, then you know. Let's just say that 'yinz guys will be graced by my presence for more time than 'yinz are now.

My Interests

concerts. galleries. city trips. driving and singing. art deco furniture. laughing at DM (is that the dungeon master or digital media... is there even a difference! mwhahaha!). good food. dominoes. muppet movies. chocolate. diesel jeans cheap. not flying. green. my cat. developing film. museums. down comforters in winter. quirky stuff. scary flowers. coffee. cyborg information. binary code. video art. dress forms. moosewood food. warmth. road trips that get me out of farmland.

I'd like to meet:

Pittsburghers that rock down to the hipness, willing to attend to the upstage's last 80s night on Thursday, artists of all types, famous gallery owners who want to display my art (yes its that good, watch out Carnegie Museum... as I'll be there sooner than later. and at least at the next associated artists show next year (as I thought it was less than to be desired this year... oh, i guess that means I have to join...). Oh yes, and hippies are bad.

Music:

If it has skinny boys wearing tattoos then I'm there. Yes, this includes the notoriously hot scott weiland and always will. It is starting to include once again richard patrick, since me and danielle tried to follow his car to town last week! Damn, he got away. Haha, it was a random act of suedo stalking that happened upon us... danielle still loves him, so it's ok... (Oh yes, and the new james bond... let's just say I will be buying that dvd) Matt Skiba is still in the group of hot rockstars ... I'm going to leave my musical tendencies to hot rockstars, as it doesn't do any good to name band names, as I'm open to anything that doesn't suck (yes, brittany spears, boy bands, bad country, and anything my sister listens to equals sucking). oh yes and 80s new wave all the way, joy division, depeche mode, other good stuff that EZ Lou plays at 80s night (this also includes Billy Idol, who I will rock out to in sunglasses at the right moment). oh yes and Matt Skiba, did I mention him?

Movies:

Fight Club, new James Bond Movie, SE7EN, old star wars, Royal Tennebaums, Amelie, Wonder Boys (with all of its Pittsburgh Glory), Snatch, Frida, Scalps!, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory new and old, Catch me if you can, Stargate (the movie no way in hell the tv show), The Matrix(all)... the list will be added to when I feel like remembering more

Television:

X files reruns, CSI reruns, foodnetwork, bad movies on TBS in the middle of the night

Books:

what reading? oh yes, at the moment it is textbooks on Graphic Design.. trying to figure out syllabii for next semester. oh and 'art and the internet" ness... whatever that should end up being? Any suggestions? I'm open, unless you're my student, then no, I'm not listening... other than required work reading, I do get much pleasure out of Vonnegut novels and the vampire by the name of Lestat.

Heroes:



Tyler Durden

Sunglass Boy
