I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Just a good natured fella from St. Louis. I'm a freelance artist... which means that my day job pays most of the bills. I draw and play around with graphics on my computer when I'm not working my day job at the evil corporate bookstore. The rest of the time, I'm either reading or out roaming around with my friends.

My Interests

art(making and viewing), turntable manipulation, samurai movies, Indian food, hip-hop, jazz, rock, good coffee, reading, artsy movies, animation, wandering St. Louis, Cardinals baseball, Blues hockey, vegetarianism... mspobj type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="350" width="425"

I'd like to meet:

artsy, nerdy type folks. ..
