About me: ..................................................
Jack of all trades..master of some.........well, not exactly..when, by definition, does anyone ever truly master something? (WARNING: approaching tangential ponderings) When they stop learning and exploring? Or when they get a metaphorical pole stuck so far up their egocentric arse that they can't even see past their pedestal anymore? Or when they just need to move on...plain & simply..? I feel the need to create (in general), I love sharing trading/skill-swapping with other like-minded folk, I'd like to think I'm not an art wanker, I'd also like 2 pet vultures called rex and millicent, a scratchy gramaphone for company, and maybe a very small island in the pacific, but you can't have everything............. I love to play & fill my ears with musique, drink tea, cook vegies, speak with diverse individuals and have a good 'ol chuckle from time to time, or a damn good jive...I am into...useless trivia, snugs, smiles, philosophical banter, nectarines, phunk, art jams, any kind o jams (edible, musical or otherwise!), fleeting ideas, wabi-sabi, street art, toe-socks(oh, wait, pocket-socks are up there too), likeable assholes (as opposed to boring/false/sickly-sweetness), old torn art nouveau posters, comic art, accordion soundz, integrity in people, tree-houses, stories about asylums, stories about nothing in particular but everything you want to read, stories that give you strange dreams, bicycle rides, Aubrey Beardsley, non-awkward silences, gin, circuit-boards, twinkly eyes, chilly mornings (I miss snow), furry coats & hats, itty-bitty miniture things, warm afternoons, urban shrapnel, Vasquez, maniacal laughter, graffiti, Oscar Wilde, hidden places, castles, dusty attics, Dr.Seuss, quantum mechanics & theories, English forests, rainforests, Susan Seddon Boulet, coincidences, friends that know you so well that they remind you of things you had forgotten to remember, Herbert Baglione, trampolines, boom-boxes, weird antique toys, tins, teeth and other such oddities, Documentaries on archeology, sultana bran, clean sinks, the secretive sea, re-occuring dreams, clockworkings, old-skool typewriters, Kyoto, flamenco, Basquait, the persian accent, swing, ska, Samuel Beckett, massages; these are a few of my favourite things...there's a million more but they're so far away from my headspace at this present moment...bah...stuff n things..I generally like 'em. you get the jist...

Who I'd like to meet: People who like the same sorta stuff as I do, and people who don't in the slightest, well, more so anyone with words or ideas to share, laughs, stories, poetry, doodles, music, art, or just random stuff & things.......ye-ah.
Or...anyone interested in...illustrations, poster-art, wearable art, paintings or sculptures (commissions welcome). If you would like to view more examples of my work, please send me a message, I prefer not to show it all on here, as this is more a personal page, and hey; what's life without a little mystery? Or mittens, they're handy too, maybe not character-building so much, but yeh, practical. (? ..I don't know either)

there are two sides in everything, normally contrasting each other. it all comes down to the way you look at stuffs. if the first way makes you unhappy, choose the other. simple as that.
Just been listening to the Tory Amos version of Lovesong... you loved that one didn't you! :) Remembering our good times, having a big cry and smiling too, because I know you're probably singing along. I miss you so much, skitL. We will meet again someday. I will never forget that time you made me come over so you could play that song you wrote for me. My insides melt whenever I think of it. I will never forget your last words, "things are not always as they seem". Part of you knew you were going to be leaving us soon. Part of you always knew you would have a short life this time around. You were in my dream years before we met. I told you about it a week before you left. I'm glad I did. To me, it meant your spirit is The One for me. Our souls are One. I remember the discussion, we agreed that The One manifests in all Forms, so maybe you weren't my One and Only. I hope I can find love like that again. Not that apples and oranges can be compared. There will never be another skitL.
I am really hoping you have passed on and dont get this, you were always going forward looking towards tomorrow living life to the fullest and i cant see how you would stop in the afterlife whatever that is to you. I had another dream with you in it, you were a platypus but you still had your face, it was weird but you were happy swimming. anyway i'm writing this for me, i love you girl always will, i remember your words and they are a part of me and i wont forget them or you. I miss you, see you on the otherside.
