brazil, what dreams may come, i shot andy warhol, clerks, the fisher king, nightmare before christmas and most stuff by tim burton, the pirate movie
Television
mostly i utilize this for background noise. i wish they would put Bob Ross on 24 hours a day. or IZNOTV.com if i could get it to play thru my tv instead of this computer screen. but then i'd never leave the house or create anything of value, so maybe it's for the best.

Books
i read, a lot, so i'm just going to list a few: art books with lots of pictures, les miserables, where the red fern grows, a wind in the door, the chronicals of narnia and till we have faces by C.S. Lewis, Froth on the daydream by Boris Vian. Neil's Book of the Dead. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, anything by Charles de Lint..... always looking for suggestions of good stuff to read, so lay it on me.
Heroes
Salvador Dali, Frida Khalo, a multitude of other great artists living and dead, the person who i once was and the person i've become, and anyone with the guts to be themselves (Gibby Fail was a prime example of the last part. I miss you Gibby)
About me: Constantly evolving...currently wondering how long it will be for someone to report my profile painting as x-rated...morphing into a complexity that defies logic and reason with a very warped sense of humor...but i say it with visual images better than words...i guess what you see is more of a reflection of you as a person, than of me...like my artwork, everyone sees a little something different...i have a facination with alliteration, consummate calamity currently claims control.
"There are thoughts born in my heart, born in the pain of ending one life and beginning another, born in the excitement of a continuing search for Life's meaning. Some people do not have to search, but, I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts, and hidden rivers and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a partof our lives as is our laughter. We Searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all, we want to love and be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will impede our wandering, not prevent our search nor lock us in prison walls, that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or to compete for love. This is a thought for wanderers, dreamers and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything that is good and beautiful. It is for those too gentle to love among wolves"
it's all written there in the art. one just has to take the time to see. i mean really see, not just what they want to, but what they shouldn't or don't want to. i paint from my soul. the core being of me. more so than i could ever express in words. i'm just not done speaking yet

yes, the artwork on my profile was created by me, C.C. Miranda...Mostly, I'm just an artist.

Who I'd like to meet: those who can confound me regularly, people i can laugh with, someone to do really stupid stuff with. other artists. the rare breed of human that will tell you the truth. and maybe, just maybe, you?
oh, and an easel that is taller than me so the painting can be at eye level while i work.
