About Me: Lover of all forms of art... in another life I did some painting and sculpture. Friends and family always referred to me as the artist. But that was only because I could draw better than any of them. I lacked discipline and self confidence. If someone showed the slightest interest in anything I had done I would fall all over myself to give the work to them. I did trade one painting for a carton of cigarettes, but that was only out of desparation. And the art lover in question was the clerk at 7/11, I bet he never actually reimbursed the corporation for my carton of cigs so I am not sure that counts as a sale. Oh.. and for the record that is an old picture of me in the profile. I have lost a little weight since it was taken.
