Frank's Blurbs |
About me:
50-something (earth years; see map) homind in love with knowledge, the arts, and the universe. But, seriously folks...
I'm mainly an artist/writer/actor/etc. In terms of the visual arts, i paint, draw, do printmaking, collage, as well as video and audio stuff. I've done some acting and performance work. My main areas of theatre interest include "the cannon" (ie, shakespeare/bacon, musicals, etc), as well as especially theatre of the absurd (albe, beckett, inoesco, etc), as well as all things EXPERIMENTAL.
btw: the pic of me is from the play "Never a referece Point"
refer to: http://www.angelfire.com/blog/narp
for info. At one point, the director/producer (the ever
fab: Dr. Thomas Riccio sed, "And can anyone do something
about Frank's hair?" -- i play "Patty"'s drunkard father
-- pretty much passed out at the "gambing" station -- which
was the "station" that i shared with the "shadow men".
In terms of music and audio, i (and my partner in art-crime, David McCullough) do a series called "Is that Jazz?" based on the work of Gil Scott Heron. I have also done some acting -- very experimental works, but well-attended none-the-less. Refer to:

email me -- love to talk

Who I'd like to meet:
Intellegent Humans, Dolphins, or other sentient life forms not necessarily bent on the destruction of the planet earth, its wondrous life (and non-life) forms (see map). Also, any non-bigots who have patience with all life forms on Earth (see map). As Ashley Montegue put it: "Live life, as if life and love were one". Peace always. - Frank.
