I'm an aspiring artist, recently I've been working mostly with oil painting in a kind of surealist/expressionist style. I also do a lot of other arts, currently preliminary work on a digital animated short film.

I tend to be pretty quiet so easy to get along with but not always the best tour guide. Get me talking about art or something, though, and you may have to remind me to stop. I also love shop talk. Doesn't matter what industry I just love hearing what people are passionate about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don't believe we should each have our own hole in the ground. Sure sometimes we need space to ourselves but space is meant to be shared.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Switched to a 36 hour sleep cycle (stay awake for 24 hours at a time then sleep for 12 maintaining the same ratio as a 16 hour waking day with 8 hours of sleep in a 24 hour day. It wasn't ideal but it worked)
