About Me

THE INDUSTRY REUNION FASHION SHOW
..
I spend as much time looking for good questions as I do looking for answers. I am a veteran of the love wars and may be just a little jaded. Spirit means more to me than the shape of someone's body. Coffee is a lifestyle. Fucking in a thunderstorm is HOT! I have roamed the highways and byways of this amazing country looking for a place to call home. I have settled for Austin Texas. I also plan to spend half of my year in New York advancing career goals. I am a clothing designer and a writer. I am learning daily to accept myself and working, hard, to better myself. This Space deals frankly with my life as a Gay/Bisexual man. In search of Happiness and Success!My Passion is Fashion Design..... Living part time in Austin Texas and New York....gives me a fun outlook and a good cross section of inspirations to draw from!I own 3 labels and have a very eclectic Design Aesthetic. I thought I might share a few of My designs here.
