About me:
I cut holes in things and paint through them. Sometimes I like to cut big stencils out of wood. Sometimes I make collages. I spend most days somewhere between tunnel-vision and scatter-brained. Lately I spend most of my time staring at my daughter while she sleeps off and on. I'd like to grow old gracefully, eventually. I'm a huge fan of actual real life sincerity but spend most of my time in public trying to figure out what the fuck to say to people. I have a website called brokencrow.com that I'm working on relaunching. My girlfriend is freaking amazing, a total force to be reckoned with. I'll probably wife her before the year is over. I think I'd like to get married wearing a snorkel and a swimsuit. If I have to dress up, I don't really want to go there. I don't own any clothes that don't have paint on them. I finally broke down and bought new shoes, but they're too heavy and I'm not used to them yet. All I want to do lately is sleep. The last thing I get to do lately is sleep. I'm so tired.

Finding a Good Man is Hard To Do.
Who I'd like to meet: Sleep. Showers that never go cold. The rainy season. Instant gratification. Wealthy benefactors. Free everything. Tangible good things. Happy endings. Breakfast sandwich subscriptions. Bucket paint and matte medium. Spontaneous evolution. Tornado chasers. Foresight. Walls around the world, and the airplane tickets that will get me there to paint them.

Hey John- I know you're going to be busy, but give us a shout when you're in NY. Or let me know when you're painting and maybe I'll come by and take a few pics. Cheers, R
