A few fries short of a happy meal

About Me

I live in Nagoya, Japan and have been here since in 1996.I am a multi-talented freelance artist. I have done work for band CD jackets, Samba teams, independant movies, and card game art. You can view more of my work at my website:http://pandora.haru.gs/


My Interests

concept design, illustration, SFX-makeup, figure making, sculpting, jewelry making, dinosaurs, ZOIDS, insects, 80's cartoons, Japanese anime (to a certain extent), Gojira, Gamera, Tokusatsu, Cyber (Dog) Wear, Clubs (only if it's Techno), and everything else I haven't mentioned.

I'd like to meet:


Music:

Lordi, SeikimaII, BALZAC, Lindberg, Weird Al Yankovic, Rammstein, Epoxies, Rage Against The Machine, Yoshida Kyoudai(shamisen), 80', 50's and 60's music, Cusco, Sentai opening and ending theme songs(Flashman is the best!), Techno.....depends really on my mood...usually anything fast and deadly!! There are others....but I refuse to list them.

Movies:

I'm NOT going to list these........least not now.

Television:

Since I'm in Japan...I don't watch the crap they serve in the US. I watch cool stuff! Sui10, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Boukenja, Nep League, would be watching Ultraman Mebius but I keep forgetting the time it's on....., baseball and soccer when they are on. There are others, but I forgot the names and i'm not gonna sit here and try to EXPLAIN them. Hell...ALL 80's shows, tons of anime, Tokusatsu shows, and ANY and ALL Japanese shows where causing physical pain, sorrow and embarrassment to the guests is the main purpose!

Books:

Does manga count????? If so, Yu-Yu Hakusho and Crayon Shinchan

Heroes:

A hero ain't noth'n but a sandwich. But, if I had to choose, it would have to be Crayon Shinchan! Any animated little boy who can pull his pants down on prime time and move Mr. Wanky back and forth, while describing how long the elephant's nose is, is MOST DEFINITELY a hero!

My Blog
