About Me



I'm an artist currently living in the Orlando area while earning my MFA at the University of Central Florida. I'm endearingly nerdy, abnormally patient, brutally honest and sarcastic as fuck. My sense of humor is dry and quite off color. I love video games, zombies and metal/rock music. I'm a bone collector. I believe all people are inherently good deep down.

All and all, I'm human: a warm, humble, empathetic, friendly and genuine person who wears her heart on her sleeve, and typically gets along w/ just about everyone. :)

To the gents: sorry kids, I'm not available... I've already found my rockstar. ;)

My Interests

art... of all types... cg, traditional, you name it; movies, leather, macabre anything, photography, rockin' music, tattoos, drawing, fun piercings, crazy hairstyles, chillin' w/ friends, deep conversations, cooking and baking, THE BEACH, people watching, sushi, physical strength, video games, animals (all of them!), six-packs (the abdominal kind), rainy days, orchids, ... um, more drawing... your mom...

I'd like to meet:

Those who are challenging intellectually and not intellectually challenged. Those who won't abandon you in your time of need. Anyone with similar interests, or an appreciation for the arts, music, photography, etc. Anyone who isn't afraid to be brutally honest with me. Those who are not intentionally condescending. Someone who can make me laugh. Anyone who would die for those they care for.
*******
Oh, and I'm not huge on people who are *pathological liars*, *full of themselves* or *riddled with drama* ... so please leave your self-centeredness and bullshit at home. K thanks. :)But for real... I'd love to pick the brains of Damien Hurst, Michael Hussar, Mark Ryden, Ray Caesar, Audrey Kawasaki, Tara McPhearson, Tim Burton... there are oodles more...

Music:


Opeth, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Cake, Celldweller, Depeche Mode, Front Line Assembly, The Union Underground, Rammstein, Prodigy, Slipknot, Audioslave, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Garbage, Aerosmith, System of a Down, Stone Sour, Rob Zombie, Static X, Bush, Chili Peppers, Skinny Puppy, Sound Garden, Nirvana, STP, Foo Fighters, Soil, Weezer, Rob Zombie, Tenacious D, Mars Volta, Godhead, Marilyn Manson, Dark New Day, Traverser, Ring of Scars...
"

Movies:

the Matrix series (I have the 10-DVD boxed set, if that tells you anything...), Zoolander, the Cell, almost anything by Hayao Miyazaki or Tim Burton, Akira, the Ring, Requiem for a Dream, Snatch, Blade, Clerks, Saw, Kill Bill, Final Fantasy Advent Children, Donnie Darko, Pirates of the Carribean, Pan's Labyrinth, 300, The Fall... there are so many... any movie that has action, comedy, or is really dark, gory and fucks w/ your mind.

Television:

Comedy Central, Discovery, Animal Planet, Cartoon Network, the Food Network (yum!), Spike TV or Sci Fi. Metalocolypse and the Venture Brothers are my new favorite addictions. Ooh, and Miami/LA Ink!!

Books:

I love me some Tolkien, but I also love Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's fiction.

You Are 68% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You?

Heroes:


Android Jones, Tim Burton, Gerald Brom, Michael Hussar, Alphonse Mucha, Frank Frazzeta, Leonardo Da Vinci, Edgar Degas... I'll add to this list periodically.

Cencorship

Controversial art is half the fun... and since our little art class discussion on cencorship, I've decided that if you don't like it, you can simply not look.Gotta love freedom of expression, huh? ...

InSOMAnia and December shenanigans

Gigantour

... was fucking AMAZING. I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with Arch Enemy, who's music I was only vaguely familiar with. Lamb of God and Megadeth were pretty good, though at that point, my e...

Wow... I had no idea I'd get so many questions about my main pic. So in response to all the questions:What is it? - it's a sculpture of a dead tree with a face being engulfed by it.How did you make it...
