About Me

Alright, I never liked this section cuz I don't really know what to say, but I'll give it another shot. My name's Josh, as you may have noticed by now, and I'm an artist. I tend to add "of doom" to the end of a lot of words such as Hamster of Doom, i don't really know why. I love to draw and I try to have a sketchbook on hand whenever I can. I do mostly concept art and animation (both 2D and 3D) When my mind goes completely blank the song from the first level of Super Mario World starts to loop in my head.
I'm very laid back and easy going, and I love nothing more than just hanging out with my friends. I play a lot of video games and love watching movies. Anytime you wanna play Halo, Guitar Hero or Smash Bros. let me know cuz I'm game!
Other than that, I'm a bit of a nomad. I've lived in several states (CT, CA, VA, FL, MA) and love to travel. I was born in Connecticut and "grew up" in several states along the east coast. I still feel like a kid at heart though, and as long as I have art to get lost in, I'll be happy. Right now I'm in San Francisco (for the second time) and I love it here.
But yea, that's a quick rundown of myself, if ya wanna know anything else just ask.-Josh

My Interests

Alright! Time for the most general possible section of all. I'll try to cover most things with a little list here:Drawing, Video Games, Movies, Music, Hanging out, Relaxing, Chilling with my friends, Ice Cream, Browsing the Internet for things that are so retarded that i laugh my ass off. Traveling (I tend to be a bit nomadic), Writing, Laser Tag, Swimming, Painting, 3D Modeling, Playing with Photoshop, and if you wanna know anything other than that just ask me.

losing faith in humanity

There are those moments in life where you are finally able to understand hatred, and rage. Moments in which you are rudely awakened by the "real world" and the scum of the earth. I will say this. I am...

the rambling of an insomniac/gamer

I almost titled this entry the musings of an insomniac, but musing tends to be a more feminine word, so i went with the normal rambling, that one might associate with a retard or drunkard of sorts. An...
