About Me


I created this by using Adobe Illustrator ( http://www.adobe.com )
"Electronic Painting" by JTK.CA
Copyright © Jonathan Tad Ketchen (JTK.CA)
"IT'S WATCHING YOU" is an electronic painting I created while a graphic design student at Valparaiso University ( http://www.valpo.edu )
I created the star background pattern. For the foreground image, I created several randomly squiggled shapes, filled them with linear and radial gradients, and then created mirrored versions of the shapes, composing them all together to form a face.
I received my Bachelor of Arts from Valparaiso University in December 1995. My major was ART (with a GRAPHIC DESIGN concentration). My individualized minor was THEATRE AND DANCE.
My life is now devoted to my art, poetry, photography, and social nudist philosophy; all of which are shown on my official website

I have indecisiveness for breakfast every morning because indecisiveness is my favourite waffle.

My fictitious alter ego also has his own blog
"The SIMON BECK Story" by JTK.CA
Keep up to date with Simon's adventures at
myspace.com/NudistPoet
I am JONATHAN TAD KETCHEN (JTK.CA). My friends call me by my middle name, "Tad" (as in Tadpole). Actually, I was named after one of Dad's Japanese friends, whose name is Tadataka, but Tad is my full middle name. However, Mom says that if she had known I would become an artist and poet, like I have, she would have named me JONATHAN TADATAKA KETCHEN.
My official website is
NudistPoet.com
(also known as JTK.CA, TadCreations.com, and NudeCreations.com)
I often also use JTK.CA as my pen name. It saves space when labelling my artwork and still sends viewers to my website.
NudistPoet
is my alias on Yahoo!, AIM, MSN, and most other places.
I live in Guelph (pronounced "Gwelf"), Ontario, Canada, eh? I am an Artist, Poet, Photographer, Nude Model, Playwright, Singer/Songwriter, and Nudist Christian.
Love in Christ
(the best kind),
Tad (JTK.CA)

My Interests

SOCIAL NUDISM:
I am a member of The Four Seasons Family Nudist Resort ( TheFourSeasons.com ), half-an-hour from my home, and I also participate in social nudist events in the Guelph and Toronto, Ontario areas.
ART & PHOTOGRAPHY:
I have had several shows of my art & photography in downtown Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and sold a few pieces.
POETRY:
Over the years, I've done several public readings of my poetry. I've had the honour of having one of my poems published in the teen-oriented "WHAT IF?" Magazine along with Robert Munsch (the world-famous children's author who also happens to live in Guelph). My poetry has also been published in various church bulletins and newsletters. Over the years, I have self-published many different limited-run books and booklets of my poetry. Now, I focus mainly on adding my poetry, art, and photography to my web site ( NudistPoet.com ).
CYBERSPACE:

NETWORK WITH ME
If there is any publisher interested in giving me a lucrative publishing contract, please contact me at [email protected] or (519) 780-1057. Samples of my Art, Poetry, and Photography can be found at NudistPoet.com
*
I am a single male Nudist Poet seeking my Damsel in Distress. You are preferably Canadian, so I don't have to worry about getting you across the border ;-) You are also a Nudist; or else you are okay with me being a Nudist, Nude Photographer, and Nude Model. I don't smoke, and I prefer a non-smoker. I am a Christian Nudist and am looking for a lady who also puts her faith in the risen Jesus Christ, Son of God. I do not want to have children of my own; I am simply looking for a lady to share my life and my love with. If you'd like to consider a future with me, you can reach me at [email protected] or (519) 780-1057. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks :-)

I am available as a Male Nude Model for Art & Photography. Samples of my work can be found at NudistPoet.com

I am a Nude Photographer ( NudistPoet.com ) always interested in finding Female Nude Models. Please contact me at [email protected] or (519) 780-1057 if you're interested in posing. You must be 18 or older, and be available to pose in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

Music:

I am amazed by all of the incredible musical talents on MySpace.com. Right now, I'm really into the music of Emm Gryner. Her song, "Symphonic," is one of my favourite songs by her or anyone else. Check her out at
www.myspace.com/emmgryner
Her website is also really cool!
www.emmgryner.com
When you get there, click on the sketch of a human ear, labeled "LISTEN." This will bring up a really cool old-fashioned radio interface which plays selected songs from her albums. I'm listening to it right now, as I type this.
My Favourite Music: Alan Parsons (my all-time favourite); Suzanne Vega (she writes more profound lyrics than most published poets); The Cure (I am hopelessly addicted); Michelle Branch; Sarah Harmer; Tangerine Dream; John Tesh (yes, John Tesh); Jean-Michel Jarre; Sarah McLachlan; "Weird Al" Yankovic (the most brilliant mind in music...seriously; he also has the most clear diction of any singer I've ever heard--you don't need lyric sheets to understand him); Vangelis; Tori Amos; Leahy; Michael Card (the most deeply profound and theologically true lyrics of any Christian singer/songwriter); Chantal Kreviazuk (I was devastated when I found out she's married, since I'm still single); Phil Collins; Genesis; Peter Gabriel; Melanie Doane; Emm Gryner (I look forward to seeing her in concert here in Guelph on June 24, 2006...UPDATE: I just got home from Emm Gryner's phenomenal concert! Her performance was diverse and breathtaking!).
From ages 11 to 13, I also wrote several songs.
More recently, I have a friend who has written music to some of my poetry.

Heroes:

MY HERO:
James G. Nourse, author of "THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO RUBIK'S CUBE." Because of memorizing that book in my early teens, back in the 1980's, I am now able to do the cube in as fast as 85 seconds, with an average time of around 2 minutes. I call it my Alzheimer's Prevention Program. As long as I can keep solving it, I know I don't have Alzheimer's, so I generally solve it several times every day. I also just do it because it's fun.
MY HERO:
My nudist friend, Sandy Hessel, who gave a live donation of part of her liver to save her friend Ellen's life.
MY HERO:
My cousin, Doug Root, who saved my life at a family reunion. I was in the living room, at the top of the stairs. I sat on what I thought was a stool, but it was actually a table. It broke and I was ready to fall backwards down the stairs, but Doug reached out his hand and caught me. He saved my life!
MY HERO:
My dad, The Rev. David R. Ketchen, who drove almost a thousand miles to help me make it through my last week of classes during an academically dismal semester in college.MY HERO:
Jesus Christ, Son of God, who loved me more than his own life, and rose from the dead to bring that same power into every aspect of my life.
