I am the artist known as Tink, an illustrator, digital artist, painter and performance artist. I am obsessed with creating my art, and sometimes watch Flight of the Conchords when I'm not painting. I use every weapon in my artistic arsenal to play the central role in my own fantasies, and hopefully create something that is meaningful or at least entertaining for other people too.

Who I'd like to meet: Friends, Post Production and Gaming geeks, Other Artists, and artist groups, hot nerds, and peeps from back in the day...and Burlesque chicks!
I wish I could make it down to Monterey tonight for the Garter belts And Gasoline show, to check out some more of your art. Good Luck on the opening night!
ps. your little quote thingy up there would be way cooler if it said "What are we going to do tonight Brain? The same thing we do everyday *Tinky*...try to take over the world."
