Heroes
"Either you die the Hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain."---- Harvey Dent
About me: "Quand tu regarderas le ciel, la nuit, puisque j’habiterai dans l’une d’elles, puisque je rirai dans l’une d’elles, alors ce sera pour toi comme si riaient touts les étoiles. Tu auras, toi, des étoiles qui savent rire!"
On Religion: Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically, but when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.- Joseph Campbell
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
-- Dr. Seuss
I'm a mystery, particularly to myself...
I'm into costuming and sci-fi cons, camping and traveling, ice skating and karate, stargazing and photography, motorcycles and cosmology, RenFaires and sandcastles, painting and writing, guitar and song, astrology and sushi, peace and love, coffee and beer, Yin and Yang......
Yes that's me in a nutshell I suppose.
I collect swords and lightsabers, world currency and state quarters, hats and rocks, meteorites and tektites, beer steins and seashells, 12 inch action figures and Jedi Starfighters, maps and beer labels, antiques (with backstories) and books......
When I was born, it was the middle of the night- the sun was in cancer, the moon in pisces, and gemini was rising in the east......from an earthly perspective.
I'm a graphic artist, a writer, a photographer and a painter, not necessarily in that order. I am also many other things...
I have one son living/working in tinseltown, one son in college, and one in high school. I'm married with 3 sisters, 2 parents, a California kingsnake, a jumpy minnow named Bait, a very cute hermitcrab, and a little blue budgie named Kirby.
I enjoy beer...
and dark forests...
and stormy beaches---
Castles, and ruins, and mysterious places...
Who I'd like to meet: Zaabalawi

hey. hope you had a great Turkey Day and that things are going great. I'm about to finish a screenplay for a Christmas Fairytale. It started out as a small idea and has grown to huge proportions. I'll give you a sneak peek at it since I would love to hear your input. I'm making an online storyboard/screenplay for the voice actors & musicians to look at before the actual cartoon is complete.

Here's the design for my Airship Pirate Queen costume. Should be a challenge to make. White silk blouse and guaze skirt. The leather belt will have a metal control panel with lights and knobs.
