About Me

I'm a painter who paints birds that are bigger than you, a graphic designer, and a biker who likes the uphills best and occasionally pedals through international border checkpoints with contraband fruit. Intentionally wordy and accidentally competetive, prone to falling down when I throw punches. I spend a lot of time staring at ship rigging, accidentally swallowing cobalt and cadmium, climbing over things, mentally picturing myself dancing really well while dancing dubiously, engaging in occasional piracy, and admitting I don't know how to properly wear hats on my giant head. Fan of psychogeography, pears, stoops, photography, power plant architecture, kickboxing, the infrastructure of other places, the fact that pelicans are real, Jeff Soto, jumping, tobacco barn murals, etymology, taking off my pants, people who work to create ecologically friendly cities, trains, power lines, contradictions (obviously), translations, push ups, almonds, gin, Margaret Kilgallen, ZeFrank, standing over the heat vent, scraping superfluous apostrophes off of store windows. Furthermore; much like Skeelo, I wish I was a little bit taller.

My Interests

Psychogeography, making pictures, making lists, power lines, arguing over semantics, falling asleep in the shower.

I'd like to meet:

Skeelo. Seth Manchester. Myself in a dark alley.
