About Me

One of my favorite mediums is blue ball point pens:

I'm currently going through a blue period, but it might soon switch to yellow. I recently bought an airbrush kit and some doilies:

I really love drawing marble statues, even though rendering the eyes is a real pain. They have what the French call a certain "I don't know what":

I also like designing album covers. I'm very proud of the cover I did for my friends The Sword:

Lately my stuff has been somewhat morbid.

If you want me to do an album cover, and you have at least a $2000 budget, and I like your music (or even if I don't), I'll consider it.

My Interests

Oh, I'm far too boring to have any interests.

I'd like to meet:

Daniel "the Brainman" Tammet. Mythbusters Adam and Jaime.

Music:

You know, I really used to be into music. And then I started listening to it, and realized that it's just a bunch of notes and sounds and rhythms, and stuff. The word rhythm has six consonants and no vowels.

Movies:

Oooh, I haven't seen a movie since they added sound to them! I hear they're even in color nowadays.

Television:

I think televisions is like, a way the government controls our minds, so as such I keep mine outside in the garden.

Books:

The Lord told me I should burn all books containing information and knowledge and things that threaten to give me understanding.

Heroes:

Sir Winston Churchill: Prime Minister, First Lord of the Admiralty, Chancellor of the Exchequer, all-around jolly-good fellow.
