I MAKE ART AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT IS AN OBSESSION/ COMPULSION THAT SAVES MY LIFE ON A DAILY BASIS. TRY IT. IT'S FUN!
I'VE MADE MUSIC SINCE AGE TWO WHEN THE POTS AND PANS TURNED INTO A DRUM SET. IT SEEMS I'VE PLAYED IN EVERY KIND OF BAND SINCE, INCLUDING PUNK, METAL, ALT. BLUEGRASS/ COUNTRY, LIVE HIP-HOP AND EIGHT YEARS WITH PORTLAND'S RENOWNED GYPSY CARAVAN, A TRIBAL BELLYDANCE TROUPE. I'VE BEEN A STATE LICENSED TATTOOIST SINCE 1994 AND WAS A STATE LICENSED TATTOO INSTRUCTOR FOR FOUR YEARS. I OWNED MY OWN SHOP, TEMPLE TATTOO, FOR SIX YEARS AND CURRENTLY WORK FOR, AND WITH, MY FORMER EMPLOYEES AT BLACKBIRD TATTOO ON NE KILLINGSWORTH. I'VE BEEN PLAYING ELECTRONIC MUSIC SINCE THE SPRING OF 2006 AND HAVE DEDICATED MYSELF TO PAINTING SINCE FEB. 2005. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW THIS STUFF. I WISH THE BEST TO YOU WITH TRUTH AND ACCEPTANCE. THAT'S LOVE Y'ALL......
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty...-Albert Einstein
freedomfighta, we are having a surprise party for you with all your favorites.......a gothic puppet show with bloody hobo puppet sex and drunk bird juggling and homemade explosives and a mime that shouts at people for being not cute and a tragic magic show and a wet pants contest and a battle off between a robot hooker (everyone loves robot sex)and an out of work wizard who got busted for selling wine coolers to minors and some really super kick ass music. So act really surprised when the homeless magician/male erotic dancer jumps out of the cake and dirty dances with you!
I got your message. I was tattooing when you called and thinking of how thankful I am of your teachings. I've been uber busy lately but would definately love to try to get some lunch within the next couple weeks. Peace
