Sea & the Rhythm

About Me



I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange... Self-hating, Shy, and Frequently Slouching: I like Illustration, I wish i could draw like Mike Bukowski. i like being a beach bum, skateboarding and listening to the lost in translation soundtrack. I think too much about thinking too much and Loners are intensely exhausting archetypes.

My Interests

Skateboarding
Illustration/Art
Seaside Towns
Arthouse/Foreign Cinema
Cinnemon Danish
Dischord Punk/DC Hardcore
Tottenham Hotspur
Henry Rollins
Found Magazine
Valencia CF
Ripped Up Vans
Cherry Coke
