Books
All of my Clive Barker books! Beowulf, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ancient Egypt, Viking history & mythology, anything about Finland (my heritage), Boris Vallejo, Frank Frazetta, art books, history, mythology, vampires. I have too many books to name them all. I am a book junkie!
Heroes
Anyone who has influenced my artwork: my favorite bands, authors & favorite movies. The things that spark my imagination & creativity. I would have to say my real hero is my mom, because she gave me a love for books and she let me go as far as I wanted with my art (in terms of things I wanted to draw).
About me: A bit about me... hmmm. I grew up in Killingly, Ct (a small town in the NE corner of the state). I lived the past 7 years in Providence, RI, which was a change going from a country setting to the city. Now I currently live in the next town over from my hometown, where I purchased my first home (finally, I have achieved the American dream). I work as a table games dealer at Foxwoods Resort Casino. I'd have to say my favorite game to deal is craps, it's fast paced. I have worked there for 14 years. I'm also an artist. I love to draw, paint, sculpt; anythng creative. I love music, horror movies, history (because if you don't study it & learn from it, you are bound to repeat it!), animals, renesainsse fairs, meeting new friends & just having fun.
Some of my artwork can also be seen on www.shadowkahn1070.deviantart.com
