I'm an artist, but not one of those artists whose every piece has some deep unguessable meaning. The only purpose to my art is to make people smile.

I often see things from a different angle than most people and I think that helps with my art. The world is filled with strange and wonderful things (also weird, bizarre, funky and just plain goofy) and I'm amazed at how many don't seem to notice them. Even if I'm a bit depressed, I'll see someone doing something strange and I'll just have to laugh.

I also like looking for treasures at yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores. Back when I had more time, I made good money selling things on Ebay.

Update: It looks like my wife and I will start the separation at the beginning of June 2008.

Update again: I thought I had updated this about a year ago, but apparently I forgot to save it or something. The divorce was a few years ago. I've nearly stopped producing any art at all. I now make my living by selling things on Ebay and Etsy.

Do to a medical condition and a few other things, I won't be dating anymore, but I would be interested in talking with someone occasionally, especially about art. If you are an artist, I'd love to exchange ideas. I need some inspiration to get motivated to work on some more projects.

I spend most of my time working. I'm either looking for stuff to sell on Ebay, listing stuff on Ebay, or packing up things that sold on Ebay. If I'm not doing that, then I'm working on stuff that sold in my Etsy stores.

Art. Now I need to get good at selling it too.--- Well, I used to be pretty good with art, I'd like to get back there again.

Let me write up a questionnaire. I'll pass it out and let you know.

A-books- Anything Science Fiction. Favorite authors- Robert Heinlein (Stanger in a Strange Land), Spider Robinson, Kurt Vonnegut, Terry Pratchett, Barry Longyear, Orson Scott Card, Douglas Adams

B-movies- Again, anything Science Fiction

C-music- very eclectic- Blue Man Group, Bjork, Psychodelic Furs, B-52's, Enya, Bryan Ferry, Mannheim Steamroller...

I do without lots of stuff I used to think were very important, the worst thing to loose would be my son.

Stuff too serious to write about here.

I don't know how to flirt. I don't think I received the gene. It used to bother me quite a bit, but now that I won't be dating anymore, it really does not matter.

you want to talk about art.
