"Hobby" always sounds like something outside of life's important activities. Everything I do is important to me. So I have no hobbies.
MOVIES
Mostly the old classics. But I love a movie that can scare me to my core, psychological. Also anything that has a possibility, things like Cujo or Psycho. Rabid dogs and disturbed people are possible. Not zombies or sharks...not in my neighborhood anyway.
And I have a great love and respect for anything/anyone who can truly frighten me. I don't know why. So I love Norman Bates, Michael Myers--oh wait, that's not true. The Elm Street movie scared me to death, but I don't like Freddy. eww. Norman is sexy. Oh, and Hannibal Lektor of course. And I like crazy people, like RP McMurphy. And of course the ethereal, dangerous, dark ones like Dracula, Nosferatu, etc.
MUSIC
Midnight Syndicate, Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Peter Murphy, and some ambient music...and some others. I love beautiful melancholy music to listen to while I work. I also love the piano and violin. I love Secret Garden, David Lanz, Robin Spielberg, John Adorney, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, KevOz, Kevin Kern, Karen Fitzgerald, Enya, Acoustic Alchemy, Zola Van, Wayne Gratz, Sheila Chandra, Met Dium, Sususmu Yokota, Kate Moody, David Arkenstone.
On the other hand, I love Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, Hanoi Rocks, Sique Sique Sputnik, Green Day, Hole.
I also love U2.
And Hanson.
Oh, and Janis Joplin.
Did I mention Candlebox and Dave Matthews? Oh yeah, and that song Drops of Jupiter by Train.
Oh, and Dwight Yoakam.
I've played the cd Autumn in New England more than probably any other cd I own.
I love music. Yeah.
BOOKS
Anything magickal or esoteric, Alchemy and universal symbolism, as well as art theory.
I study the Tarot and the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah.
My favorite novel is The Catcher in the Rye.
I also love The Widow Basquiat, Chelsea Horror Hotel, Ellen Foster, Veronica Decides to Die, And I Don't Want to Live this Life, Raven
Anything dark and romantic and beautiful, arrogant and a bit dangerous, but with a sweet heart and soul of empathy. Oh yeah, and a demonic smile.
I love the Hotel Chelsea.
I love my animal totems, especially "my" Gaboon viper, Kenya, who lives at the Memphis Zoo.
I love the element Water and all that goes with it.
I love the moon.
I love scents, candles, incense.
Rainy days.
Comfortable shirts and big soft shoes.
Coffee drinks.
The smell of Autumn Leaves incense.
My dog.
My home, my people, and my life.
My studio.
My friends, especially (in no particular order) Marrissa, Devilynn, Carla, Snow, and Donna.
To laugh so hard to where you can't see.
To cry from emotion, when something moves me to the core of my being.
The painting Woman Ironing by Picasso.
Holden Caulfield.
The Life Cafe and the Lower East side of Manhatten.
Damien.
The smell of vanilla candles inside a Jack O'Lantern.
When it gets dark at 4:30 in late Autumn.

The smell of Rue.
To read about ancient Egypt.
Akhenaten and his family.
Reading about serial killers. O_o
Salty crunchy foods.
All the stuff in my room, especially the amazing things people have sent me.
All my electronics. They amaze me and make my life so fun.
I love Mary, The Creator, Demeter, Hecate, St Anthony, St Jude, St Raphael, my angel, my other angel at Calvary Cemetary: Manuel, Ptah, Anubis, all my Animal Totems, my Guides, my relatives who have gone on but still assist me in life.
I love my alter ego, Demetrie Davis, his twin brother, Laurent, the little clown who lives in my head: Spooky Sam and his Love, Annabelle. I love PoG and ProjMD, the Jungle, and my beloved Grove of Seasons where the Keepers of the Gates reside.
I love Monique the most important person in my life.
I love Love.
DISLIKES
Ignorance, mean nature, cruelty, chosen stupidity, boring angst, all this faux goth-fashion movement, and closed minds and all the things that fall under those categories.
I have some work posted here dealing with my artist trading cards:
23rd Street at Flickr
I love to draw and paint and make things, especially based on Hallow's Eve and Autumn and dark nights and full moons and mystery and the Tarot and symbolism.
I am a member of several online Illustration groups and ATC groups. Also Ebays Artist Cards Editions and Originals (ACEO) group.
Summer approaches and I really become lethargic and out of sorts.
I'll be waiting on Autumn for the next few months.
