About Me

Music: TYBURN SAINTS http://www.myspace.com/tyburnsaintsMyself: Czech, Lithuanian, Spaniard. No siblings, so interactions with cats and friends can sometimes be belligerent. I give a lot of myself and am kind, and expect the same from others with absolutely no exceptions. Even though I often state that I dislike most people, it's only somewhat true. Draw inspiration from the past, but try hard to stay in touch with the present, and fail miserably. Inspired by modern/future concepts from 40 + years ago. Nocturnal since '77

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Music Video

So I just finished up appearing in a music video for a band called "The Drown." The very talented Amy Leonard directed it. Her noir treatment and good sense of style gave it that just right feeling....
