In a 90's Kind of world, I'm glad I've got my girls,
Keep your head up WHAT? keep your head up THAT'S RIGHT
Whenever this world gets tough you gotta fight with
your homegirls to your left and your right, true blue, we're tight like glue
'cause were living, single

(theme song from the best sitcom every to be produced about four sassy black women living a life of success .. together!)

Absurd? Absolutely. Let's Start with absurd and work our way back to normal.

I'm probably cooler than you. Don't take it personal. I was birthed from a parisian whore, impregnated by the mighty god Tyr, who came to her in the form of a giant bear. I mean really, when a giant bear-god tries to fuck you, are you going to stop it? When I finally die in battle I will join my father in the halls of Valhalla, and drink Mead until I can't feel feelings.

I am a print-maker, a student, a father, a friend, a lover, a hater, a critic, an artist, a hedonist, a philanthropist, a misanthrope. I am amazing, decadent, illustrious, luxurious, opulent, ostentatious, and at the same time horribly boring and listless. I'm terrified of the future, death, and love. I'm fascinated with and by etymology, maps, the dictionary, encyclopedias, reference materials, wikipedia, graphs, charts, statistics, blueprints, diagnostics, and all gnostic indulgences.

All in all I'm pretty fantastic, and tragically imperfect. Take me as I am or don't take me at all; but should our destinies be intertwined.. well I'm okay with that.

Educating myself so that I might one day educate students on the wonders of printmaking and fine arts.
In the meantime, I weave tales, imbide libations, revel in debauchery and enjoy the life of being a father of a beautiful girl.
I occasionally Swashbuckle.

drawing, printing, thinking, procrastinating, underestimating myself,

I have really good eyebrows for a fellow. I also apparently look like Jack Black, but I personally think I am much more handsome, and much less dumpy.

the infinite interconnectivity of all things in the universe, and the hauntingly inevitable presence of death.

I also think about how awesome Bill Cosby's sweaters are, the sitcom 'Living Single',if cannons on pirate ships were purely phallic, and whether or not I like the 'artist' Jeff Koons.

working, drinking, playing.

I secretly love old bad emo.
