My first and greatest love is Art. (see my pics at: robot-king.blogspot.com) MANGA artist since I was a kid(six years old), which is Japanese comic art (Although the majority of my subject matter is hardly Japanese, something I've had to tell to many a Midwest numbskull...).I love Sci -Fi movies and books,ninja girls,Robots, and checkin' the shit outta haters!!! Practitioner of fighting systems such as Northern Praying Mantis Gung - Fu,and Wing Chun, with a little "Chinese Ninjutsu" thrown in... Riding bikes instead of driving. Sweating and drinking water, instead of moping around and popping pills...(SHIT ! GODDAMN !! GET off your FAT ASS and JAM !!!) Taoism and Buddhism, but a RUDE BOY at heart. It seems I offend on a regular basis only because THE TRUTH HURTS. Endorphins, blood, and sweat...The anti - depressants given to all of us by GOD. (and NUGGETS.) HEALTH IS WEALTH.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------- "To master others is strength, to master yourself is FEARLESS" -- Lao Tzu
Lycanthropes like me, Ugly Betty, Lucy Liu. Anyone who favors harmony, intellect and open mindedness over pessimism and hatred.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what's the deal with these LAME ASS artists in this city whose so called "art" looks like Tim Burton wannabe baby scribble, yet try to slander me for doing MANGA, when they have no knowledge of its History, Philosophy or Technique? I'd make an attempt explain it to em, but they're all a bunch of alcoholic cokehead groupies.
The BRAIN is the most attractive part of any human to me...
