I find myself constantly working on random creative projects that are pretty labor-intensive but a lot of fun at the same time. I like to go out a lot and take as much of the world in as possible, whether that means going to see live music, visiting museums and galleries, hanging out at the beach, going to the movies, or simply putting down a drink with good friends.

Jobwise: I am a creative director at a small art gallery in Echo Park: L'KEG Gallery. We have changing exhibitions, punk / experimental music shows, movie screenings etc . . . I'm also a freelance Illustrator, and I work full time at The Getty Center.

I like pie.

Also, I'm kind of a culture junkie with broad taste in books, music, and movies. I tend to be attracted to things that have a cult following in some aspect or another. I'll just go ahead list-style and name some of my favorite things, although I certainly don't expect people to be familiar with all of this stuff:
