Introduction I paint things. Frequently, very large scale things..those I do for money, and infrequently, compared to my compatriots-smaller, personal things, like still lifes and portraits, which I hope to do for more money soon
Interests fairy tales and the classic illustrators: Dulac, Detmold, Rackham, Nielsen....animation, particularly hand drawn, vintage era Disney-ever notice the background work in "Pinnocchio"? Same thing with Miyazaki-the backgrounds make me sweat! video games-I gave up WOW a year ago after 6 years of playing-still miss it. Reading-especially good fantasy like "The Name of the Wind" by Partick Rothfuss
Favorite Movies ever changing list but always on it will be "Sunset Boulevard", "Harvey", "The 300", and "Lord of the Rings"
Favorite Music also ever changing- all the dramatic Russian classical composers, along with the Queens of the Stone Age and Roisan Murphy
Favorite Books "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel", Grimm's and Anderson Fairy tales, of course, along with 1001 Arabian Nights, the Harry Potter series, "The Name of the Wind", "Perfume", the Fablehaven series....I've been an avid reader my whole life, and this list is in constant flux as well as I discover new works
