About Me

Greetings... I am an accomplished *International artist that does not know how to draw,(*some guy in Africa has some of my paper mache boxes) thus the "international reference. I have lived in the Chicago metro area all my life...however, i did do some time in Washington State...NO, not prison time...but living in the land where the state flower should be Toxic Mold...just attempting to make a living in a land that is not friendly to "outsiders" deems the term..."doing time."I am 43, I love to paint...and sometimes doing nothing but hang out with friends for some cool R&R. I do have a normal job, and the painting is an extended hobby of mine. However, i am quite good at it. I tend to use objects not associated with your common paint brush. Like for instance those little plastic cocktail serving forks, and toothpicks.tafkar means The Artist Formerly Known As Ray. I use a stick man as my logo. If one takes Prince's symbol, and moves it around, one can get a stick man with a scarf. I chose to keep my stick man more on the masculine side, so, i tossed out the scarf. I am however, toying with the idea as taking the scarf and using it as a wave of some sort, to add a new twist to the logo...still thinking about such.HEY!!!! Visit my web siteI also trail ride on my bicycle. Granted, I am old school, so, none of this spandex crap, or helmet. I don't pretend to be Lance Armstrong, nor would i ever want to be like those butt wipes that don't think they should say anything when passing by a walker, or somebody walking their dog. I'm not a parent. I don't have the ability to see what is coming behind me. A little common courtesy goes a long way.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Everybody. well...maybe not EVERYBODY...there are some people i really don't want to meet... perhaps i should just say I'd like to meet: Decent, Civil, non-pompus, people. that's the best i can do now...give me some time.

My Blog
