About Me

I love hanging out with interesting, open-minded people who are fun to talk to. I'm an art director, illustrator, visual journalist and designer and very much my own person, so I gravitate towards other people who tend to think outside of the box.

My Interests

Art, design, music, film, antiques, visual storytelling, current events, history, road trips, beer, whiskey, wine, coffee, good food, good conversation, mysteries of the universe, life.

I'd like to meet:

A renegade army of robot pandas.

Music:

I gravitate towards more improvised forms music and anything thing made with creativity, intelligence and soul. Unfortunately popular music seldom lives up to these standards.I'm a big fan of most forms of jazz, blues, soul, vintage R&B, old school and underground hip hop, bluegrass, harder rock and roll, punk and experimental music.

Movies:

TOP 10: Seven Samurai, The Empire Strikes Back, Touch of Evil, Psycho, La Dolce Vida, Apocolypse Now (Redux) Raiders of the Lost Ark, Last Tango in Paris, Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange

Television:

A few favorite programs of old and current:Curb your Enthusiam, Arrested Development, Seinfield, Sanford and Son, The Simpsons, The original Star Trek, Smallville, All in the Family, Get a Life, the old Twilight Zone, Family Guy, Wondershozen, The Daily Show and Colber.

Books:

Mostly I read periodicals, (short attention span), but here are some of my favorite books:The Art Spirit by Robert Henri, Naked Lunch, On the Road, The Great Gatsby, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Breakfast of Champions, Miles Davis' Autobiography, (highly recommended even if you hate jazz.)

Heroes:

People with the strength to live their own vision.
