One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Occupied the attention of hundreds of people at one moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to share a lot of things. I like to collaborate and work with others using all this stuff where I can.

art - paintings, drawings, sculptures, video art. I have a pretty thorough understanding of creating all these things. I can share the basics of drawing realism or cartooning, oil painting, stencil making, animation, and some other stuff.
graphic design/computer stuff- the adobe creative suite, video production and editing, final cut pro, after effects, VJing, some basic web design stuff.

Mysticism- I am not claiming expertise of any kind in these fields, but I hope to share what I've learned/experienced with others and help where I can: qi gong, meditation, tai chi, tarot, astrology, alchemy, qabalah. I like to learn from all traditions, if possible.
