I'm an artist of whatever medium currently that absorbs my low attention span. I do not take medication for that, because folks, sometimes possibly more often than not, it's a personality trait, not a chemical imbalance. If your kids hyper, it could be because it's a highly creative being that isn't being challenged. Or, it's a stupid fuck. It's your job to figure out what category your DNA derivative falls under.

Aside from being a overly sensitive snob, I'm a horrible speller. I cheated on spelling tests when I was a youth and realized early in life that a straight line is the shortest distance between two objects, but a wormhole is even shorter.

I was schooled within a catholic system for most of my childhood (no scars there), and then at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I could draw, so I thought that would be an easy career path. I was right, but it wasn't until I graduated Rochester Institute of Technology and got a real degree - again, in art, that the jobs flowed in...one every...two years or so.

Aside from my, um, career in my spare time I mainly create my own fine arts projects; portraits, photography, random happiness. Whether it's illustration, photography, video or animation, I try to do it all. From time to time I do freelance projects.

I collect action figures and enjoy long walks on edge of glacier cliffs.

Don't freak if I don't make you a friend, even if you make me a friend. I have no photos to hide, so what you see on my stream, is alls I gotz. Censorship sucks, Viva the 1st!
