i have been a creative person since 1967 - the year i was born. that's the year everything started happening! i came out of the dark tunnel singing. i have never stopped. my parents kept a radio in my crib and i began on the piano around four. choirs from eleven. at fourteen - guitar. at sixteen - drums. i started writing in my teen years and traveled extensively with nothing. i played in bands as a drummer for years and have an act with guitar and vocals. i also sang lead in a rock band, but it is too much hard work! i began making art in earnest in 2000, and specialize in non-representational abstract acrylics and oil-pastels based loosely in the surrealist technique of psychic automatism (not to be confused with psychic autism), and other formats. i am always exploring, always at play, always learning. it's like walking a hyperactive puppy: leading and following at the same time.formal education:none. informal education: self-taught. i was born with a sponge in my head. i pick a subject i am interested in (e.g. sex) and learn everything i can about it obsessively. i have studied art, art history, art criticism, popular music and culture, semi-popular music and culture, unpopular music and culture, film, literature, poetry, serial killers, buddhism, taoism, christianity, physics, occultism; you get the general idea.my goals are to paint, write, play music, and make love to at least one beautiful woman at a time until i can't breathe anymore, and then i will move on.Specialties: union negotiation, purchasing, government liaison, branding and identity, server architecture, mergers and acquisition, salary arbitration, international law.
