A little about me, I suppose. I was born April 10, 1982 in Saginaw Michigan, though I've moved so frequently I don't remember it or too many other places I've lived. I do, however, remember a few years at a private school in Pittsburgh, a glorious year in Georgia where I caught salamanders with a friend, and the usual torturous years of High School, in Natick, Massachusetts. Throughout much of my life I was torn between the disciplines of writing and art, and at one point, science. I even believed I would enter film. Perhaps I might anyway.
I have recently graduated from Bridgewater State College with a BA in English with a Writing concentration. I am a writer of fiction first and foremost, and an amateur fantasy artist. Some other stuff about me:
Hobbies: Writing, Literature, Cinema, Animation, Illustration, Paleontology, Anthropology, History, Religion, Philosophy, Newts, PC games, Role-playing games. I play AD&D 2nd edition and despise 3rd. My current favorite setting is Planescape, because of it's theme of beliefs in action and subjective reality.
Favorite Artists: Brom, H. R. Giger, Wayne Barlowe, Frank Frazetta, Chris Achelios, Judson Huss, Jacek Yurka, etc. and anyone else whose art was featured in Heavy Metal or Spectrum
Favorite Movies: Heavy Traffic, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Wizards, Taxi Driver, Last Exit to Brooklyn, American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, Unforgiven, Deliverance, Dawn of the Dead (1978), Evil Dead 2, Conan the Barbarian, Aliens, Road Warrior, Adaptation, The Last Temptation of Christ, La Femme Nikita, Pulp Fiction, Robocop, Donnie Darko, King Kong (1933), Planet of the Apes (1968), Princess Mononoke, El Topo, Amadeus, Memento, Pan's Labyrinth
.
Favorite Music: Classical or Heavy Metal. I like Beethoven, Mozart, and Holst, but my favorite metal bands are Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Emperor, Helloween, Opeth, Nile, Death, Finntroll, and Rotting Christ.
Favorite T.V. shows: I don't watch T.V.
Favorite Food: I eat to live, I don't live to eat.
Miscleaneous people I admire: Roger Ebert, Ralph Bakshi, Robert T. Bakker, Paul Verhoeven, Desmond Morris, Peter Kreeft, St. Augustine, Robert E. Howard

| 5 Sep 2006 | Anonymous | Loading...You will probably never read this but your work is really great! It also struck as I was reading about you how like my brother you are! It's kinda freaky actually! | |
| 11 Feb 2007 | J.R. Moody | Loading...Man, you're way too talented to keep smudging like this. You have this insatiable knack for perspective and you really have a strong grip on the concepts of anatomy. It's the line quality and the smudging that are taking away from all that. Keep your lines clean.. Darken lines where they intersect ( darken the one that is closer to you in the 3-D sense ), during curves, or during corners. I won't lie -- I smudge a bit. But you gotta watch that you don't go overboard.
I'm not a phenomenal artist by any means; I don't want to sound like a pretentious critic. I just think that your aptitude for composition is so far ahead of what you do with a pencil that if you reconciled the two, you would create a storm.
Good luck in everything you do ( writing or otherwise ). You're awfully talented. | |
| 6 Apr 2008 | Lydia stephanie Barker | Loading...the detail that you put in your stuff is just beautiful | |
