Heroes
.. My three mothers Eva, Carol, and Diane, all of whom I'm without. And, as a child and egghead teenager I was schooling to be an astronomer, and my heroes of those days (and still) are Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble, Galileo Galilei, and Nikola Tesla. Art and writing pushed me out of academics, though I try and pretend I'm smart now and then. Believe it or not, I miss that type of academic study nearly as much as I miss my grandmother, mother, and stepmother.
I'm an artist and writer who has been living under a rock for a few years due to ill health. I've gotten better over the last year thankfully, and have been trying to get back into the swing of my former life. My site bajema.com is back online, please visit me ;) I recently put out my first collection of art, Sepia, a comic sized book containing some older and newer work. Presently I help maintain my better half's project website, the Miskatonic Archive. And for anyone so interested, I post new work here quite often.
I once was a web designer and created websites for John Santerineross (attis.nu), Wendy Drolma (wendydrolma.com), Lee Higgs, and a variety of other artists/photographers. I hosted a webzine called Insects and Angels and the Cult of Angels project.
Outside of my own publications, a little of me in print can also be found in Santerineross' two lovely and dark books Fruit of the Secret God and DREAM.
My first book, Sepia, is now available. Touch banner for details!
Who I'd like to meet:
Artists, Eddie Izzard, new music, snazzy dressed males, creative angsty males that just need a hug and a blanky, new models to work with, human oddities, new englanders, squirrels with flutes... currently I'm stalking pirates and captains. Preferably who keep with them patch wearing squirrels who play flutes...
Hey Bajema, If you are at San Diego Comic Con this week stop by booth 1621 and 1623 to say hello! I would love to finally meet the girl behind the very cool art!
Dear friend, I will soon have a new computer, so, I will be able to keep in touch with you more often on Myspace. I am at last saying goodbye to my very old 1998 PC! See you soon...
Wishing you all the best on this special day of yours. I wish you a life full of great health and great wealth for years to come. Happy Birthday beautiful friend Cheers Malek
