I'll go on the record that I'm a SUPER Geek except unlike most I'm not very techno-savy or in any manner technologicomputerologically skilled. Otherwise I'm into Drawing, Inking, painting, writing, Comic books, Movies/DVD's, Video Games (ps2+xbox+computer), Books by Alexandre Dumas or William Gibson, Vodka, Coffee with Cinnamon Hazlenut creamer, and many other things. I like Entertainment, All kinds. From Dramas, to Science Fiction, to Comedies but what I appreciate most is quality in whatever I read/Watch/or participate in. Quallity or an Enjoyable experience from it. Generally I use gaming a bit too often when I'm down to distract me from life. The list of interesting ways to distract or entertain myself BUT mostly distract myself from things goes on and on and etc... More and more lately i've been World of Warcraft as my main distraction, great game with fun things to interact with, mostly good people online playing on Earthenring, and some cool stuff to work strategies out to defeat.Music

I watch more DVD's then watch TV, and do have cable now after not having it, TOO MANY CHOICES but no time to watch anything!!! I do however pick up select shows that i didn't watch when they were originally broadcast that are now available on DVD such as M.A.S.H., Buffy+Angel, and FireFly (which was incredible and I never saw when fox screwed up broadcasting the series but I beleive could have been one of the best shows given time) ...Books

....::BRUCE CAMPBELL::..... he's a god amongst mere mortals. I read his book "IF CHINS COULD KILL:CONFESSIONS OF A B MOVIE ACTOR" and it was highly entertaining just like his preformances in most every movie he's been in. I had him sign a copy he was just a really really cool guy. Plus I have to really respect someone who lives doing a job he really seems to enjoy and that enjoyment is readily visible in his work. .....::WILLIAM GIBSON::..... I've had him sign copies of his books as well. If you've never heard of him then SHAME ON YOU! He's the science fiction author who came up with CYBER-PUNK... His idea's and what was sceince fiction then is very real today in the form of the very internet you're reading this on now. Almost all the internet terminology relates back to his books. Meeting him was cool as well, he was very nice and spoke for a time to the crowd about living in an era where what writers create as science fiction is soon realized as technology. .....::MIYAMOTO MUSASHI::..... He's a legendary Samurai considered the last great samurai, he went undefeated in duels until he retired as the era of samurai's ended. He began his life as someting of a Thug, then became sort of a Warrior/artist/poet. .....::ALEXANDRE DUMAS::...... He wrote over 300+ books in his lifetime and was the most succesful and prolific author of his era. Not only did he write books filled wih action/intrigue/humor he traveled and lived the very life he wrote about even participating in revolutions.

About me:
I'm in progress, towards what end i don't know. I draw, I write, I play Video Games (mainly just one as of the last year), and I watch movies. Caricature has become my job for longer then ever I intended. Working weekends, parties, and private gigs i've managed to sneak by as a Self-employed Freelance Artist ever since Graduating from art school. I still have interest in becoming a Comicbook artists, or storyboarding or whatever, just torn on what I'd want to do and where to spend my time. Interests are split and like I mentioned I'm still in progress of sorting it all out. What do I write? short stuff, notes for stories I mostly never finish and idea's for things that once I'm not "in progress" i'll hammer out. Which Video Game? World of Warcraft has become pretty much my sole form of entertainment since I pretty much stopped watching most television. Yes i'm online alot and I know it's a game, but everyone does what they enjoy, and currently I enjoy raiding what WoW has to offer. What Movies? good ones are nice, but GREAT movies! I try to watch the best films no matter the genre. Doesn't have to have been popular, just well done from the preformances to script to directing, etc...Who I'd like to meet:
