About Me

"A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart; oh no; it's curved like a road through mountains." - Tennesse Williams
BR I'm a concept artist/ character designer/ storyboard artist, working on a feature film in Los Angeles very soon. I love art and writing. I'm working on a novel in my spare time, and a screenplay. I'm also a part time journalist for an LA zine. Many of my close friends happen to be photographers, so I do a bit of modelling work. I adore Burlesque, and try to go watch shows and be involved when I can.
I love big landscapes- I haven't seen enough of them yet. I love to see new people places and things. I'm an adventure/ disaster magnet. I love being spontaneous.
I'm very independent, I take care of myself and enjoy my freedom. I'm passionate about my career and my art. I'm very determined, and I don't quit when the going gets tough. I'm very protective of my friends and family :)
I'm quite a thoughtful person; probably just goes with my artist personality. I'm quite a spiritual person too, though with no particular religion. I believe in doing what you love in life and being happy. I believe in serendipity. I think that sometimes you just meet people that you're destined to run into for whatever reason.
My friends are very important to me. Nicole, Paddy, Stefanie, Michelle, James, Paul, John.... My family also - I've lost a lot of them along the way, and that makes me extra protective over the ones I have left.
I love horses, and used to own one. I'm too busy for them right now, but I'd love to own them again in the future. I want to ride horses and go on a trek through the American landscape in the near future. I'd also love to visit Northern canada on a Polar bear tour, the landscape is so breathtaking up there.
..............
A note to anyone considering asking me out- a quote from a movie -
Clementine: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clementine: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.
- from the movie 'Eternal Sunshine'
I don't fall in love easily, although I love all my friends and I'm very affectionate. I'm lucky to have so much love in my life that when I meet the right someone, they'll be a cherry on top of the cake x

My Interests

Too many things to mention. Usually anything arty, I like to create things. I also love big landscapes, I'd love to hike through some American mountains one day! I love to feel defeated by landscape and the sky, it puts your life in perspective and makes you feel connected to everything. I also need to visit the Canadian arctic someday!I enjoy drinking good quality coffee, sitting in nice cafes with a sketchbook and a good friend. I enjoy laughing and being around my friends. I like to change my hair colour and style, and shop for clothes. I love designing everything and anything. I love good architecture, fashion, furniture designs, gadgets, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Tennessee Williams, Oscar Wilde, Chris Atkins, David Marciano, Dean Cain, Callum Keith Rennie, Alan Rickman, Peter McNichol, John Barrowman, Paul Gross, a polar bear... (tho i hope I'd live to tell the tale)

Music:

I have quite eclectic taste. I do especially love the music of Tori Amos and Glen Miller. Dance soundtracks, e.g, Footloose, flashdance, dirty dancing, etc. Anything with a good beat really, I like to dance. I have fairly gay taste really :)
