I'm Courtney, the way to my heart is through my chest... I go to the Metropolitan Arts Institute. I work as a bookseller in Barnes&Noble Arrowhead. I am a musician and producer. I'm also a DJ. I generally hate 4-on-the-Floor music. And try not to use it. I'm a Film Director, and I tend to sink my hands into Art Director, Director of Photography, Costume Designer, Actor and Screenwriter too. I'm an Industrial and Fashion Photographer. I am an Abstract Painter and Figure Illustrator who draws heavy influence from Music and Music Icons in my art. I'm very fashion forward and my favorite stores are popKiller, Cardboard Robot, Giant Robot, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, Buckle, and Express for Men. As a hobby I love video games. My favorites are beatmania IIDX, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Ico, Shadow of the Collosus, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy XII, Katamari Demacy, Dance Dance Revolution, Initial D and DrumMania. I also enjoy Anime + Manga. My favorite series are Nana, Initial D, Death Note, Paradise Kiss, Boogiepop Phantom, Lain, and Paranoia Agent. I watch a ton of movies, but really in theatres. I like girls. I like drawing girls mostly. I like hanging out in one place for hours. I'm very technological and my favorite gear is the new Apple iPhone, iPod, RAZR, iBook, Photoshop CS3, Ableton Live, Reason, Reaktor, Vaio, and the Sidekick. I love reading, especially Fiction, Self Help, Trivia, and Music History books. I'm a protestant and love the Lord very much. I also study Buddhism. I don't like to mingle in politics. I am very, very pro-life and anti-abortion.
