I am just another artist, writer, designer, circus bear, struggling to make my way in the world. I get involved in some things worth mention every once in a while, do things worth showing off here or there. Paintings are always drying then being reworked, books are always partway done... I have my hands in a lot of things at all times, 'no telling how long whatever is finished today had been bouncing around before.
I also do graphic design, even web sites - for a price, sometimes, if the job is right, the pay is good, and the clients seem honest and sane enough. Even then I am a bit skiddish about such things. I'd rather launch myself flaming from a catapult whilst whipping myself across the back with a cat of nine tails, but no one ever pays me for that... anymore.
I've had my artwork in a movie or two, am doing artwork for some new movie on the horizon - one which were I to name names you would go "wow" and say some other stuff, incredulously, because you are like that. I've done things for bands here or there, but nothing for free if that is what you were about to ask. I've done some major music promotion, DJing, other scenester crap - and have worked with some of my favorite all-time bands, who I hate. I've made some pretty insanely intense websites and prefer not to. I have a comic book in the works - I just might be selling it at the Chicago Comic Con in August, if you ask nicely.
I have no real home, and have been to every state but five - though lately I have been drifting mostly about the midwest, and more specifically Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma - mostly, more specifically, Missouri. Why? Don't ask me. How am I supposed to know these things? It probably has something to do with El Nino or the gulf stream.
I have a web site, where I sell stuff, and sometimes post stuff I don't post here - none of what I sell will cure polio, it won't make you popular, it certainly won't impress your parents... unless they are creepy. They are probably creepy, aren't they?
... But you might find something that truly suits your tastes, fits "you", and is just what you were looking for to dress up your home, office, car, garage, brothel, tapir, or roommate...
or you might not - you might not like it all, you might just be completely furious, you might hate it so much that you want to pay me a million dollars to never paint again... or want to buy it just so you can hop up and down upon it like... well, you know how you get...
but regardless, at least you will know that you looked, and you know for sure, and you will never kick yourself for not finding this stuff sooner, so you could - at the moment someone mentions my name, laugh incredulously, because you are like that, and mention that you knew who I was first.
