About Me

..
Thee name is Alyssa :] I just graduated from the Art Institute with my AA in graphic design, first and only grad. Woohoo :] I'm hoping to go on to lots o' freelancing and illustrating. I kinda officially consider my self an artist now... even though I'm never satisfied with my work. I think its good though, it forces me to become better. I plan to have a site set up soon (eventually...sometime...in the ?near? future lol) along with prints for sale :] I have a wonderful boyfriend/fiance thing ;] Haha I know...yea. David is indeed my other half. He's my bub, my life, my tomato:] He is just beyond anything I could ever ask for. He is my eating and napping buddy. He sings to me in my sleep (and tickles my nose which makes me get all "ARRRRG!!!!"), eats lots o food with me ( food babies!!!!) , comforts me when I'm frustrated and makes me giggle like a little school girl, yes thats right. But seriously, he is always there for me and is an outstanding person. We have had such great memories and I know there will be many more to come, love ya bub :]

My Interests

I love.... David Maggie Modular Grid Systems My brother Daniel Color Love Mistakes Facial expressions Ping pong Old movies Peeling dry acrylic of my palette

I'd like to meet:

Hmmm, just about anyone. I'm open to a lot of new things. I really dont judge people because nothing is what it really appears.

Music:

I listen to a large array of music, anything that pleases me, makes me smile inside. My current obsession is the Amelie soundtrack. I enjoy Muse Wilco Benny Bennasi and the Biz The Decemberists Beethoven Arctic Monkeys Billie Holiday Cat Powers and much more... pretty much whatever's already on our playlist

Movies:

Goodness, where do I start.... I watch a lot of Mel Brooks films, especially Men in Tights and Dracula Dead and Lovin' it. I thoroughly enjoy Wes Anderson's works. Tim Burton is also high upon my favorites list. Some of my favorites: Shaun of the Dead Eurotrip Juno Clue The Science of Sleep

Television:

Unfortunately I watch a lot of television :p. I am currently a Fraiser freak... I never used to get that show, now I do and LOVE it. I love watching the Discovery Channel, what with their How it's Made and Blue Planet.

Books:

Uuhhm... textbooks. Although I did enjoy Twyla Thwarp's Creative Habit.

Heroes:

My brother Daniel. He's one of my best freinds and I look up to him because of his talents and just who he is, I love him mucho:). David:D Not only is he my hero but he makes me feel so alive...yes damn skippy, no matter how corny it is:) My friends...they get me through life. Maggie my baby... I love her and she knows it, she loves me and I know it
