Introduction I'm a board member with Big Car -- a non-profit gallery and arts organization located in the Murphy Art Center. I make my living as a reporter for INtake Weekly and the Indianapolis Star.
Interests Surrealist art, collage, art brut, film, independent thought. I like messing around with all kinds of art and music. That's me singing that version of "Let's Go" above. I'm in a band of sorts called Shiny Black Shirt. The collage in my picture box is by Max Ernst. He's my favorite dead artist and has been the biggest influence on my work.
