Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator "The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason." - John Cage So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering. ...... A bio, written by a friend......... Michael Maglio began his art career at an early age, rendering faces on the walls of his mother’s womb. In his youth, he became adept at transferring the products of his prolific imagination onto paper, and quickly transitioned from impressing his family with drawings of fantastical creatures, to making pubescent boys drool over his lust-worthy cartoon babes. With a love for all styles of art, ranging from comic books to graffiti and oils, he went on to graduate from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1998 with a Bachelor’s degree in animation and multimedia design. He has spent the last several years working at IBC Digital, a studio that specializes in CG animation for broadcast commercials, TV shows, film effects, and cartoons. Currently he is working as an illustrator and animator in Los Angeles, CA. In his spare time he does a fair share of freelance work, such as graphic design, illustration, and videogame-character conceptualization. He is also THE man to go to if you need a kick-ass flier for a show.A socialite with a bit of reticent charm, he is frequently out and about, drinking and dancing with friends. If you find yourself at a nightclub that’s pouring out deep bass lines and tall beers, chances are you’ll find him there taking mental notes for future designs. So, dress well and drink up.

My Interests

drawing, dancing, sleeping, snuggling, movies, film, music, friends,artists, books, sharp things, metal things, pencils, India ink, digital paint, oil paintings, smooth paper, beers, martinis, tacos, sandwiches, green tea, skating, eating, reading, rokking, dreaming.

I'd like to meet:

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. - WH Auden ....... I'm a pretty nice guy, usually up for a bit of a chat. I'm holding out for Ms. Awesome. I like to hang out with groups of like minded creative weirdos, musicians, and animators. Usually they only appear weirder than I. I only like good people. If you are knob or a tool then leave me alone. If you are a band please don't send me a friend request...unless you are really sweet or need some artwork. :) Hit me at "maestromaglio"on AIM and go look at my website...DRAW ME A PICTURE! ....
