Moviesi am not a movie buff but i am getting better. netflix rules. i tend to find ones i like and just watch those ones over and over again. i love the movies of my youth. labrynth, princess bride, muppets take manhatten, neverending story. i also love documentaries and old punk rock movies. decline of western civilization, another state of mind, all that good stuff. and super troopers or anything that makes me laugh hysterically.
Televisiontoo much of it. somewhere along the way i got completely addicted to it. cable tv has sucked me in. television on dvd is a weakness as well. peep show, garth merenghi's dark place, brit-coms, mission hill, the office, arrested development, freaks and geeks, the young ones, project runway/top chef, rock of love, ghost hunters, any specials about ghosts/hauntings/bizarro places, you get the idea.
Booksplease kill me by legs mcneil, wisconsin death trip, all the ramona books, juxtapoz, bust, maximum rock and roll, batgirl comics (real batgirl, not that ghost batgirl crap), batman graphic novels, dorothy parker, books about criminals and serial killers and the paranormal and of course art books.
Heroesramona quimby.
batgirl.
wednesday addams.
LOUIS DARLING.

About me:
View and purchase my artwork at newkindofkick.etsy.com

i have been creating art since i was a small child (but who didn't make art when they were a kid, really?). i like to think i've improved a little bit since then though. i do a lot of mixed media pieces. most of my inspiration comes from the old advertisements of the 30's, 40's and 50's. i enjoy taking those ads and adding a bit of satire to them. i reproduce these old advertisements by hand drawing them in a larger size, no projectors or computers are involved. i work mainly with acrylics but i enjoy working with water colors and i also like to paint murals and furniture. basically, i love to paint in any form. and anyone who knows me, knows my number 1 favorite thing is to glue things to other things. i especially love to glue miniatures. i also love tattoos and the art of tattooing. i try to incorporate that into my work as well. i have just recently started exploring other creative outlets and am looking forward to sharing them with the world. enjoy!

Former member of The St Louis Craft Mafia, a great organization that I still support.

Past Shows include:
Mo's (Memphis Originals) - displayed work in March of 2005
Noir Art Emporium -solo show January of 2007 and participating in their one year anniversary show November of 2007
St Louis Art Coop's Old Hat Show in March of 2007
Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts What We Do is Public: The works of Jessica Russo and Don Beasley- July 2007

Helping Us Heal





May 8 2008 11:05 AM

Thank you for the add. When we are experiencing pain and suffering, it is as if we are in a cocoon. We are bound by a web that is tightly woven around us. But, inch by inch, as we struggle through the process of healing, we get closer and closer to what and who we were meant to be. And then, the day will come. The day we will find our wings. And, we are free...
