About Me

I am an artist. Specifically, drawing/painting. I recently obtained my MFA in fine art, and I have re-located to NY. I am currently an adjunct professor at St. Joe's college, which I LOVE! I must be around the woods. It is my life blood. There is something about being close to nature, and my autumn. Autumn is that something that surrounds my life with mystery. In any natural place, it is this feeling I trust in. I am esp. aware of it during autumn, however, any season produces the same awareness. I haven't fully been able to understand it yet. I am a free spirit, and I don't take much crap from anyone. I can hang with the best of the boys, and I love that.

I love Progressive metal, Black metal, some experimental metal, and Death Metal... oh yeah, and any crazy 80's metal band you can think of!In my world, the longer the hair, the cooler you are! I've been around music my whole life, and I def. have a musical ear...So, I really get into my music. If you are a great/talented band I appreciate that. As long as you love what you do, work hard at it, and it comes through in your music, (preferably metal) ...I'll be a loyal fan.I have a great deal of favorite bands, I'll mention them, but probably have about 50 more I forgot about on this particular night:(in no particular order):Blind Guardian, Demons and Wizards, Opeth, Guns and Roses, some Pantera, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Tesla, King Diamond, Poison, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Death, In Flames, Cryptopsy, Leave's Eyes, Arch Enemy, Steelheart, Porcupine Tree, TON, Kamelot, Nightwish, Ayreon, Pain of Salvation, Faith No More, Riverside, Sonata Artica, Stream of Passion, Pain of Salvation, Seiges Even, Queensryche,Testament,Symphony X, Agalloch, getting into Soilwork, Spock's Beard, Moonsorrow, Korpiklanni will remember more soon...
