Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Romania. – Dorothy Parker
Female

Savannah, Georgia
United States
Kitsch, tiki, retro, zombies (the monster and the cocktail), sleeping, tattoos, wigs, llamas, British gangsters, miniature schnauzers, rockabilly, Southern Gothic stuff.
Music
I'll pretty much give anything a listen, but some of my favorites are: Social Distortion, Mike Ness, the Clash, Joe Strummer, the Pogues, the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly (yes, I AM Irish, can you tell?), Roy Orbison, Merle Haggard, the Puppini Sisters, Cirque du Soliel, and, um, Loreena McKennit. And Enya. Shuddit.
Movies
Dark City (my favorite! I <3 Dr. Schreber...), The Krays, Straight to Hell, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Unleashed, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Rude Boy, and anything with Gary Oldman (rRRowr. Yes, I'm weird), Clive Owen (he only has one expression, but he works it), or Jason Statham (I'd pay to watch him read the phone book...and rip it apart with his bare hands. While skydiving. And wrestling a tiger.)
Television
QVC, baby! Also anything good on the Discovery Channel...Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Man Vs. Wild. Mmmm, Mike Rowe and Bear Grylls...
Books
Stories by Flannery O'Connor, Tennessee Williams, or Graham Greene. I really don't read a lot of fiction, but I love true crime, books about natural disasters, sociological books (especially by Jonathan Kozol)...things of that nature. I'm a huge nerd.
About me:
Hey y'all, thanks for stopping by!
The best way to describe myself and my art would be to say that I'm of deep Southern heritage on both sides, and I spent my adolescence in Los Angeles. Cornbread and kitsch, baby!
I'd say the biggest misconception about me is that I'm some dark, Gothic, brooding horror-loving nut, and...well, I'm just about the opposite, actually. I wear pink nearly every day, am extremely girly, and am unable to sit through horror movies– I didn't even get to the first kill in "Scream". I have no idea why my art leans towards the grotesque, really.
My inspirations over the years have been Ingres, Flannery O'Connor, Alex Proyas, Shag (if I could live anywhere, it would be in a Shag painting), Tennessee Williams, Wednesday Addams, Pee Wee Herman, Gil Elvgren, the Kray Twins, David Lynch...and a bunch of others too numerous to count. Basically, I like to soak up as much as I possibly can in my life– if some of it seeps into my art, great.
