Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Freelance designer and artist, dabbling in numerous media and venues my entire life. Spoiled for choice and always looking for new opportunities. Have drawn comic books for DC, shot thousands of concert photographs, been a music columnist for The Charlotte Observer, designed CDs and press kits for regional bands, flyers and tickets for the infamous Pterodactyl Club in Charlotte, and somehow created an entire liquid latex subculture amongst Florida cyber-film-enthusiasts. These days I design user interfaces and marketing materials for an optical equipment company co-founded by a long-time friend, push the limits of web standards design, write and design gaming materials, occasionally spin minimal ambient techno, and blacklight bodypaint. While I certainly am excited about things that I do, I'm not driven in the sense that they define who I am. I am not a corporate climber, but I respect those with honorable ambition. I'm not a brainless sports-addict, but I do value friendly competition. I'm not a cookie-cutter alterna-guy, but nor do I follow society's political or social conventions. I am my own person, always have been, always will be. Sometimes that makes me a little challenging to be around, but I like to think the challenge is worth it. You be the judge...

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Music has been a BIG part of my life since I was a kid. I like to think that you could toss me into a temporal vortex and no matter where and when I ended up, I could find music that fascinated me. From jazz in the 20s to folk in the 30s to swing in the 40s, rock and "real" country in the 50s and 60s, punk/new wave in the 70s, alternative in the 80s, ambient and britpop in the 90s, and techno in the 21st century, I'm constantly grooving on the music that different eras created. And always hungry for the next aural delicacy... Voracious reader - non-fiction and fiction alike. History, fantasy, science, politics, regional... Vegetarian for over two years, and it unlocked cooking from something I just did to something I LOVED. Spice is a must, but not necessarily "hot" spice. Ginger, bok choy, rice, tomatoes, scallions, raw or lightly steamed veggies... give me a list of ingredients and I'll whip *something* up that's drool-worthy!
