Feet, what do I need you for if I have wings to fly?

About Me

I like music lots, and lots of it. I do art. Love laughing, but I'm kina corny. I doodle ramdom things, and have tats (because those two things obviously go hand in hand...). Really I'm a dork, but it suits me, I think. Oh and Big Up Belize.

My Interests

Stencils and pencils, spray paint, pictures of birds, good conversation, avocados, warmth, the lives of we mutt/multiracial people, Creole, letters, elephants, Mango Creek, pillows, "gay marriage killed the dinosaurs" written on anything, vintage liquor ads, music, joint art projects with friends, photo booths, trying to find stars in New York (the ones in the sky of course), bboys & bgirls, surrealism, graf, scarabs, orchids, saying words over and over til they don't sound quite right anymore, putting furniture together from Ikea, cooking, tats, designing people's tats, pressuring Alan into getting more tats than he wants to, open mindedness, people who smile with their whole face, cocoa butter, finding things I'd thought I'd lost, traveling to see as much of the world as I possibly can before I die
