Art and music,...that's about it...I'm fairly shallow. I do however enjoy making canoes for hamsters out of dried pickles.
Music
Volbeat, Clutch, Mastodon, Helmet, Turbonegro, Pantera, Down, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Muse, Early Metallica, Megadeth, Accept, Anthrax, Bad Brains, Morphine, Black Sabbath, Slayer, White Zombie, Powerman 5000, Static X, Big Business, All things Buckethead, Flaming Lips, Lamb of God, High On Fire, Alice In Chains, Slipknot, Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom...just about anything Mike Patton has done, except the albums in Latin...I can't speak Latin.. The Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, The Misfits, Cheap Trick, Kings X, Rush, The Toadies, Tool, The Police, KISS, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Early Alice Cooper, Fishbone, System of a Down, Sweet, Almost ALL 80's metal...etc, etc, etc.
I could go on for days, honestly, I like TONS of music, I only list the "cool" bands here because...well...I'm trying to be cool, but I own an assload of AM Gold, the Grease Soundtrack and Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits...and listen to them regularly, and I think the Bee Gees are a gift from the musical gods..
Movies
I'm a huge fan of cheesy movies...my favorite movie of all time is The Warriors.
Another favorite is "The Car" (Super Duper 70's cheese about a killer car driven by the devil...how do you NOT love that?!!)) Old Horror Movies, Monster movies like the ones they used to show on Saturday afternoons in the late 70's, early 80's (Creature Double Feature!!), Slap Shot, Blazing Saddles, Halloween (Best Creepy Theme Music Ever), The Devils Rejects, Dazed and Confused, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Seven, Fight Club, Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, The Departed, Shawn of the Dead (Absolutely Brilliant!), Grindhouse, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, The Rock, and the Jackass movies (grown men intentionally inflicting damage / pain to thier nuts is ALWAYS funny.)
Television
Not much....I haven't been "loyal" to a television show since the Six Million Dollar Man or Creature Double Feature in the 70's, so that should give you a glimpse into my attention span.
Books
hmmmmm....is "contain info" the right answer? I had no idea there'd be a test.
Heroes
Anyone brave enough to pursue thier passion, and do what they truly want to do with thier life, and the Incredible Hulk.

Sir Chubby Von Twinkie I will relax this holiday weekend, I learned from The Shining that all work and no play makes Jack want to bash Wendy's skull in with a bat. view more
About me: Ever since I was a wee lad I've loved drawing demons, zombies, ghouls, skulls, and freaks. I've always loved hot rod / low brow / kustom kulture art. My 2 biggest influences are Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and the 80's skateboard art of Jim Phillips. Here's a bunch more I love: Todd Schorr, Robert Williams, Brian Taylor (aka CandyKiller), Pushead, Mister Reusch, Derek Riggs, Rob Zombie (Yes, the rockstar guy, he's a great illustrator/artist...I know a guy who knows a dude whose cousin went to high school with him....true story.) Simon Bisley, Sebastian Kruger, Ralph Bakshi, Johnny Crap, Coop, Camilla Rose Garcia, John Dyer Baizley, Shepard Fairey and the man credited with the "Rock Poster Revival" and current toy mogul, Frank Kozik...just to name a few. My art has appeared in many books including The Art of Modern Rock, Pandameat as well as "Electric Frankenstein - High Energy Punk Rock and Roll Poster Art" and the upcoming "Fistful of Rock" rock poster book. I've spent the last 15 years designing t-shirts for everything from pro sports teams to corner vendors and everything in between, as well as concert posters and tour merchandise for independent and major label musical acts.
Random notes: I wear a baseball cap every day, because my hair stinks, I snore, I don't believe in pants, I can make Kraft Macaroni and Cheese without reading the directions on the box. My first boyhood crush was on Olivia Newton John followed closely by the girl who played Strawberry Fields in Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. I could live solely on cheeseburgers and I have more toys now than I did when I was 10. When I'm not drawing, I'm trying to learn to play guitar or sleeping.
