About Me



Since I don't have friends or fans, I've become my own Paparazzi.
I hound myself wherever I go.
I won't give myself a moment's peace. I'm relentless in my pursuit of photos of myself that show me at my worst.
Why won't I just leave myself alone?
Hey!?! Get my camera outa my face!
Oh well. I know it's the price I must pay for not being a celebrity.

I've spotted myself in all these places

These people have visited.

I got the urge to try my hand at another medium since I get bored easily so this time I'm making silk screens of some of my drawings and incorporating them into painted canvasses. I made a cast of a d...
