Interests

I love to draw, paint, other arty stuff, play guitar and trumpet, ride my bike, cook, speak Spanish, listen to music, listen to people, talk to people/animals (especially cats for their ingenious ways of getting you to love them, which sucks cause I'm allergic), read, write, watch movies, dream, go on walks in interesting neighborhoods, trumpets, guitars, parallel 6ths, wind instruments harmonizing, voices harmonizing, cheese, beer, wine, walking, faking accents, laughing, faking laughter and then having that turn into real laughter, meeting people, wearing suspenders, traveling, taking a shower and getting into newly laundered pajamas and then climbing into freshly washed sheets, designing frame layouts, picture framing, discovering more interests.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you music theory, how to at least make a sound with the trumpet, how to see light/shadow when drawing something, how to spray paint, and how to frame art properly. I want to learn more about design and writing scripts.
