About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Art and beauty. Let's not decieve ourselves, or perhaps let's do.
ABOUT ME
A simple person. A unique person. I've walked a long ways on various roads and look at me, I'm still a young man! I love that life is full of surprises, that who i am today is a surprise to the person I was 10 years ago, and what tomorrow will bring will allow me to grow and change in ways i cant imagine.
PHILOSOPHY
From within ourselves there is a compulsion towards love, a directive to refine and improve ourselves, and to follow this is our only great obligation
