painting. drawing. graphic design...and art in all its many forms. exploring the far reaches of the globe, and finding little paradises. beautiful music. backpacking. tropical beaches. summer festivals - like burning man, glastonbury and big chill. tubing down rivers in laos. exploring ancient jungle ruins at dawn. swimming with sea turtles in turquoise water. volcanic lakes. yurts. lower haight tennis socials. tom's veggie culinary delights. being inspired. self-sufficiency. fluffy, sparkly stuff. camping by rivers. good wine with good friends. boating down the ganges at dawn. dancing under moonlight to a good beat. alaskan mountains and glaciers. being nomadic....anything subversive, creative, organic, delicious, outdoorsy, well designed, funky, adventurous, clever, witty, funny, sunny, inspiring, anti-corporate, political, cultural and subcultural interests me.
good people
