I’m a published author, photographer & graphic designer, but for the most part, I’m just an artist who likes to make things.
I also love cats, The Avengers, Goethe and Henry David Thoreau, juxtaposition of inappropriately contrasting themes, and long intellectual-stoner discussions overanalyzing things like applying the theory of relativity to macroeconomics.
