I am fresh, thorough, and pumped up.

My Self-Summary

I'm an art, music and design nerd, and I tend to spend most of my time involved in all three. I'm a little bit of a workaholic but am pretty easy going. I try not to take myself too seriously, live in the moment and enjoy what's goin' on. I have a generally strange sense of humor and am a fan of absurd and ridiculous things.

What I’m doing with my life

I work at a visual effects school in Hollywood as a designer and instructor (teaching a class about building an online portfolio and marketing yourself). In my free time I work on various art/design projects and experiment with electronic music.

I moved out to LA at the beginning of 2008 (from Indiana) and and have been enjoying discovering lots of new things. I visit a lot of the art openings and also enjoy hitting up the Dr. Sketchy's figure drawing sessions. I love to draw but am nowhere near as good as I'd like, so I'm working on it.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. You can check out some of the places I do stuff at:

I’m really good at

Helping out, not being a douchebag, being sarcastic and having decent grammar/writing. I also fancy myself a creative person but I'll leave the judgment of that stuff to other people.

The first things people usually notice about me

I've got a smile and blue eyes. Apparently I naturally come off as a bit standoffish and elitist which is not my intention but seems to be my demeanor! Sorry about that.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: The Shape of Content, The Demon-Haunted World (I really need to read more Carl Sagan),Siddhartha, The Dhammapada (a lot of buddhist philosophy appeals to me but I wouldn't consider myself a buddhist)

I'm also a fan of vintage 70's-era sci-fi paperbacks, as much for the art direction as the stories (which are sometimes good and sometimes not so good, though still entertaining).

Movies: 2001, The Deer Hunter, Blade Runner, Aliens (i'm a sci-fi nerd), Pootie Tang

Music: David Bowie, King Crimson, Wire, Brian Eno, Bill Callahan/Smog, Low, Prince, Harold Budd

The six things I could never do without

I swear I'm not that materialistic but here's my list:

- drawing
- drums
- chamomile tea
- music
- laptop
- good people

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What I'll be doing later, how things work, all of life's most epic questions.

On a typical Friday night I am

Making art, hitting up an art opening with friends, attending a show or making music. Or I might just be staying in and enjoying a good movie.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

When I was 17 I went into a coma for a week and it was pretty crazy.

You don't really have dreams when in a coma but I did during the 2 weeks I spent slowly coming out of it and they were some of the craziest, most epic things I've ever experienced. Ask me about them and I can talk for a few hours.

You should message me if

You're not looking for drama and enjoy checking out some of the LA art openings.
