AWAKEALWAYS

Artist/musician living in Seattle. When I'm not drawing, or disappearing in my clouds or recording new original songs, I enjoy making digital art, amateur photography and occasionally a little writing. When not doing those things, I'm working my f'd day job. And then sleeping... whoops, never. F$**!!!!! Keep those clouds comin. I've released two albums of original songs and one of orchestral music for a feature film. Self-taught guitarist, self-taught recording engineer, self-taught human adult, etc., etc. No, no, I learned a great deal from others, I just motivate the endeavor to do this, independently. I rarely watch tv, no time for 27 seasons of something. I enjoy the gamut when it comes to motion pictures... super serious drama movies like Paris Texas, HEAT, Fight Club, Lost Highway / Mulholland Drive (brother and sister films from Lynch, IMO) niche quasi-art house stuff like Ravenous or Henry Fool, abstract stuff weirdness that confounds the senses like Persona, Possession, Rosemary's Baby, The Tenant, The Thing, or filmmakers like Tarkovsky or Jodorowski, f'n Street Trash!!!!! or Society!!.. Timmy Burton's stuff, Pee-Wee, Lebowski, or silly nonsense like MST3K or Samurai Cop or MST3K watching Samurai Cop, Ed Wood, etc. I've done a lot of reading and here are some favorite books off the top of my head : Journey to Ixtlan, Prometheus Rising, The Great and Secret Show, Interzone, War of Art, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Comics would be Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, the Byrne / Claremont era of X-Men, Miller's Batman stuff, R. Crumb, Edward Gorey. I haven't aged much since 15, but I was a pretty f'n serious 15 year old, so where does that leave me. Well... there it is. I don't know, who cares about me anyways, I'd be more interested to hear about you?
