About Me

Website: www.artofwarble.com
Michael "Warble" Finucane is part of the New Medieval Movement that utilizes a modern and abstract approach to medieval art concepts. He is influenced by Margaret MacDonald, Jan Toorop, Joseph Hoffman and others that represent medieval concepts of organic abstraction within a two-dimensional stylization. With a blend of geometric abstraction and an arcane medieval style application, Warble creates a fusion of innovative and original art for the 21st century.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet crazy people with new ideas about stuff. I totally dig people that know the difference between the herd and the fucking shephard--know thy self. However, being completely mindless and stupid is fun too! Without the zero there cannot be the one...

Music:

Guitar Wolf, Dead City Rockers, Iron Maiden, John Dowland, Yes, Madonna, any kind of stoner metal (even though I'm not a pothead), Samantha Fox, Grand Master Flash, Chuck Berry, and Howlin Wolf.

Movies:

Wild Zero, Excalibur, Das Boot, any Eisenstein movies, Faust (silent movie), Phantasm 1 & 2, the Evil Dead movies (Go Ash!), Seven Samurias, Lone Cub and Wolf, and anything with Toshiro Mifune in it. Zatoichi lives!

Books:
