MySpace a place for friends

my name is Jesse Lindsay, I'm a freelance artist and designer,and I'm currently living here in Oregon and teach an art class in Salem,OR at the National Tattoo Academy..wtf you ask? read on.... I got my start designing tattoos and selling drawings to small shops as a kid,and as I ran out of local shops in and around the small town I lived in,i went to the largest town past it,then the next,with no planning,no money and nothing that didn't fit in to a back pack.

I made it from Missouri to New Orleans and eventually to here in Dallas.in that time,my personal projects have ranged from paintings to short films,photography,urban exploration,animation,sculpting and much more.collaboratively i have worked with musicians around the world as well as many stage shows and productions in Seattle with various friends,shows and bands making costumes,stage props,videos,set designs,make up/special effects,promotional material and any other random what ever I could.

Aside from the obvious,I derive a lot of my inspiration from music,reading,dreams and research in to the mechanics of things.If i wasn't and artist,id want to be a psychologist or a traveling,freelance carnival surgeon or maybe an Asian physicist.

as of now I am completely uneducated,I'm a high school droop out,I did a lot of drugs,I despise almost all forms of authority,I failed art class 2 years in a row in high school and as you can tell,i don't give a shit about capitalizing letters. My work is a collection of ideas and research,as well as an illustrated dream diary, Much of my personal work is based on studies I have done in to ancient cultures,modern science and various hallucinations,its a projection of my theories,a sum of my thoughts and an open,ever changing body of work,my influences include Vedic mantras,the Mahabharata,alchemical text,Sanskrit writings,creation mythologies,biology,physics and many of my own misconceptions,which shape my art and outlook,most of the time my work is very closely connected to what I'm learning about and what I'm interested in at the time of its creation. A lot of my ideas are condensed in to visual images,no matter what im reading or learning about,my mind often becomes a landscape of surreal,fluid images which are much harder to forget then the information that inspired them. my work has been shown in galleries,festivals,stores and tattoo shops in Seattle and surrounding areas,Co.Springs,Kansas City,New Orleans,LA and many other random towns and cities as well as many virtual galleries such as the museum of computer art in New York and the Shadow Nation gallery,here in Portland. fun fact #189: squirrels cannot carry the rabies virus. i collect antique medical items,action figures,zombie movies,mechanical art,etc.......email me if youd like,im always down to chat jesse@jesselindsay.com

blind and/or crippled strippers,evil hookers,fire dancers,botched plastic surgery victims,comedians,medical fetishist,hook suspension-ist..or wtf ever there called and other artist.

i love working on projects with other people how ever i do not take any thing seriously,even my own work to me,though it may be my life,is nothing more then an enjoyable outlet that i do for the pleasure of creation.

if your not funny or some what creative,i seriously hate you and hope you die,nothing in the world pisses me off more then un-funny people who have no idea there not funny and make out like they are.the ruin shit for the rest of us.if you don't have a good sense of humor then commit suicide RIGHT NOW,your useless.

ill e-mail you the razor blades and the cure cd to do it to,take pictures and ill post them online.

back to the funny part,i laugh at old people,if you dont or if you think its mean,then your old your self and theres homes for you in the near future where people will change your diaper and feed you jell-o and you will wonder why your kids dont call you as you watch re-runs of mash all the time waiting to die. GO TEAM!!
