I'm a large canvas,'Agro-Pop'painter, 10 years of painting in downtown Seattle pre- NewYork city during all the meyhem and abuse in the '90's.(one 50 inch tall canvas shown in photos, The Balkan Asstray ).I also photograph Moshpits from within, with a wide angle lens strapped to my hand and a belly full of Jose'.Im a fan of epic literature and studied Philsophy and History in school with an ephasis on Holocaust studies..Im a fan of romantic and epic poetry as well.. Ive a pretty nice modern art collection, with an emphasis on Warhol and Haring, Futura 2000 and the early 80's artists. A nice Cockatoo, ...hmmmm...Im a member of most major museums in NYC ( oooh! I gotta renew) and know the Met like the back of my hand. I like the PARKSIDE, Lit, SOHO on west broad. The Brooklyn Bridge rules and so does southern gothic bluegrass.Im also an art dealer and work primarily with ANDY WARHOL and KEITH HARING, Picasso and Chagal also.oh yeah, Ive a glass figurine collection as well...and I'll punch you if you make fun of it!...ladies excluded.. I grew up a Suicidal Tendancies youth in Ha. and spent the '90's living behind the Lusty Lady in Seattle. Moving always inbetween. Sound conflicted, add the Museum memeberships, very Opera educated with a working knowlege of most ,and an insatiable need for Very Very curent news and very very very painful inking!..oh but its so good, isnt it?..
Friends, Rockers, old freinds, future boozers, no losers,maybe a juiced up, rockin' Veronica, to take to the ball games and listen to Dolly. Vivian Leigh in a Valient listening to Van Halen one..Mallory Knox, eating jello in a roadside diner, while I gass up the car outside. A gal good for a long ride, under thunderheads in the midwest, or taking cover under an overpass, smokin, smoochin and listening to the Be Good Tanyas. Someone to throw the ball around with..
