I'm an artist at heart, I love to draw, paint and illustrate. I'm always looking for a new adventure whether in the real world or a newfound book. I also have a great love for poetry, and my lifelong passion is a rather dark fantasy novel which I have been writing for quite a long time. I have a great deal many interests; there is nothing I crave more than knowledge, experience and the improvement of the mind. Once I delve into something, nothing can stop me from pursuing it until the end. I'm fascinated by film and animation. I love computer games, and video games, and i'm pretty good too, watch out =D I have a PS2 and Gamecube (among other systems), so i'm sure you'd beat me pretty brutally at an xbox duel. My favorite game of all time is the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (super smash brothers a close second)- I am completely obsessed with Tim Burton and many other things of which this page is too short to mention. I speak eight high school semesters of Japanese, I'm currently teaching myself Gaelic (by book and audio recordings), next will be Norse. I am currently learning piano and eventually I will aspire to play the electric violin (who doesn't?), hurdy-gurdy (lol you're laughing aren't you? =P), and harpsicord. Not many know, but I'm secretly fascinated by religion and ancient mythology/legends. I'm also captivated by music, the arts, astronomy, photography, fencing, language, filmmaking, animation (cell animation in particular), Surrealism, Old English, literature, ancestry, the interworkings of the human mind; the deeper, darker side of people, etc. Also dreams, the afterlife and the whole philosophy behind it, tell me your perspective on that! I want to know :D I love to ponder the unknown.
I'm currently interning as an aspiring pencil artist at a comic book studio known as: QEW Publishing
I'd like to meet:
Mortals, preferably :D

Books:
I love Fantasy novels the best, it takes you as far away as possible from reality. My favorite books as a child was "Dealing with Dragons", and the "Dragon's Milk" series. I liked the book White Oleander and the way it was written, The Neverending story, J.R.R Tolkien's LOTR, and The Eye of the World- also Manga is fun-or graphic novels in general. As a fan of poetry, I love to read as much of it as I can. Any recommendations? =)
Here's a very small list I've gathered
-Dead Men Do Tell Tales
-Fondling Your Muse
-Tim Burton: A Child's Garden of Nightmares
-The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm
-Tim Burton: An unauthorized biography
-Macbeth
-The Princess Bride
-A Long Way Down
-White Oleander
-Coraline
-The Alchemist
-Dealing with Dragons
-Dragon's Milk
-Blue Monday [graphic novel]
-Archie Comics :D
-The Crow by J.O'Barr
Heroes:
Tim Burton. His eccentricity has influenced millions, his work is drenched with a dark innocence that is rarely seen in films today, and I greatly admire his characters, his art, and his films, hoping I could do the same someday.
Danny Elfman. His music inspires and provokes any talent, a good man, who I'd love to meet.
Henry Selick.
Thanks for the inspiration man!
Peter Jackson. An extremely talented director, if not one of the best =D
