About Me

I live in Toronto. and am the graphic designer for Rue Morgue Magazine.I also have been pinstriping for the past 3 years. I will paint almost anything you bring me, big or small. I have a decent selection of colours. feel free to message me if you have something you would like painted.I like old horror and psychobilly and stuff.I used to play in a band by the name of Zombie Riot. Chances are if I'm not working on doing some form of artwork or hangin out with my girlfriend Meaghan, I'm out longboarding.if this page looks boring to you it's probably because it is. people should spend less time on their computers and more time getting out and doing things. go outside, it's nice out. build a house, make some friends or something.

My Interests

Art, Design, Horror, Music, Longboarding.
oh, and smashing the faces off of clay buddhas with a meat cleaver. i'm into that too.

Music:

Psychobilly. Punk fucking Rock. Hardcore. old Trojan ska and Reggae you get it.

Movies:

Bride of Frankensteins my all time favourite. White Zombie. pretty cool. I dig on the Creature From the Black Lagoon. the original Texas Chainsaw is another favourite. other than that, most horror from the 30s and 40s. 50's cheese as well.I like a various selection of more contemporary horror as well.

Television:

The Munsters. Six Feet Under. that's about it really. i don't watch a lot of tv.

Books:

Catcher in the Rye is my favourite book. I also like design annuals, art books, and the like.

2 vocal tracks finished?

a forty of jack daniels was consumed, and a whole lotta fuckin around went on, but i think we ended up with what would be considered to be vocals for 2 out of 5 songs. slow but steady wins the race!
