taxidermy, dioramas, wax models, vintage medical junk, and old dusty stuff. Natural history museums, zoos and aquariums, saloons and dilapidated old west towns, visionary art spaces, Ripley's Museum, Museum of Jurassic Technology. A slow drizzle that lasts for days, Shirley Temple drinks, and German accents like Werner Herzog. Art: Felicien Rops, Albertus Seba, Andreas Vesalius, Max Ernst, Crispin Hellion Glover, Henry Darger, Joe Coleman, Henrik Drescher, Simon Evans, the Claytons, Jason Holley, and all my friends who make beautiful art which eats my soul with jealousy.
A good storyteller. A great sense of humor about yourself. Also someone who will give me money to make art.
