About me:

David Normal began his career at the age of 16 making punk flyers in San Francisco. Never being content with the prevailing trend, Normal quickly moved on to creating interactive theater parties. These events, created in the California countercultural millieu of the '90s, were frenzied collaborative happenings that were seminal in their influence. "The Feast of Fools", "St. Valentine's Midnight Masquerade Debauch" and "The Secrets of Uranus" are a few of these productions.
Normal began the 21st century traveling through South East Asia in an effort to document trance and spirit possession ceremonies. The video and photos collected form the corpus of a film entitled: "Loose Spirits". In recent years Normal has devoted himself to animation, and produced two short films: "The Bicycle Ride" (a tribute to Albert Hofmann) and "Pyramid" (a collaboration with Colin Angus).
Today David Normal's primary focus is on painting. He is also making what he calls "Ultra-Shorts" (extremely short animated montages). David Normal resides in Stinson Beach, California with his wife, April Lelia, an Indonesian artist.

but then again, I never asked for it to begin.
For that's the way it is with life,
as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance.
But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.”
Thank you for your friendship,
have a wonderful evening!

Hey David,
Here are some ancient words of wisdom:
Tune out
Turn on,
Drop out.
I don't know if that is quite the right wording, nor do I agree with the philosophy.
But I guess that is because I was born a little too late...
I have no issues with pot, however...
shhhhh.
LOVE
JENNY
(we will be attempting to visit my sister in Santa Cruz (actually, she moved to "Big Basin?" off HWY 9),
Then onwards to San Fransisco. If this all works out in a timely manner, we would love to take you and your wife
to any VERY GOOD restaurant of your choice...This will be between July 1 to August 8th. I have to get back to L.A. to meet my myspace friend Dino! I am looking forward to that! He is coming from Germany, I think?!)
