Mark "Big Ass Book of Crafts" Montano's Interests
General
Writing books, making art, looking at art, movies, my boutique in New York's East Village. The fact is I'm in love with papier mache and broken glass right now. I'm also in to mixed media art that is layered. Write to me and we'll talk about it!
Music
Wow, this is a big list here. But lately my friend Kelly's sister Meiko is really rocking my boat.
Movies
My favorite Horror movie is called Martha Stewart's Nightmare. It's where everyone she ever stole an idea from (and claimed it as her own) comes to poke her with a pin and burn her with a glue gun. It's called Killer Craft......Martha in Hell!
Television
C'mon folks, While You Were Out, 10 Years Younger, My Celebrity Home and She's Moving In.
Books
Super Suite (The Ultimate Bedroom Makeover Guide for Girls), Dollar Store Decor (101 Projects for Lush Living that Won't Break the Bank), The BIG-ASS Book of Crafts

DO NOT SHOP AT MICHAELS ARTS AND CRAFTS. They treat their workers like useless morons! If they treat their own employees like useless trash imagine what they think of you the consumer. I'll tell you, they want your money and they tell us how to manipulate you so that we can take it.
