BAR REVIEW-
_____BUFFALO...1:30pm
***I'm a third year student at the University at Buffalo Law School pursuing a concentration in State and Federal Constitutional Law (despite the notable handicap that such a concentration is not available at UB). [Side Note: to all of my classmates at UB Law, I'm sorry that I didn't really get to know many of you, but I never stay on campus any longer than I have to-- practice is always calling, and rink time is hard to come by --]
Aside from being a somewhat reclusive law student, I'm also an artist, devoting my time to comic book illustrating and designing tattoos (and to those of you who message me about the drawings on my page, yes, I did draw all of them). If you'd like a tattoo design, feel free to let me know. Just drop me a line with what you want, and I'll get something going for you. Consider this a pro-bono design service. It beats the 50-ish bucks that the shops charge for custom work.
So...in about a year I'll have to decide between being an attorney or a tattoo artist. In the meantime, I'll be playing hockey until my body gives out.

Reilly (his singing voice is rivaled only by Gomer Pyle)

Movies:
