ABOUT ME

I am a down to earth guy who doesn't need much to have a good time. I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor. I enjoy cooking for other people. I am open to all kinds of people from all walks of life. I love riding bicycles, I feel like I am neglecting by bike if I don't ride it everyday. I am a painter, subject matter ranges from abstraction to representational works. I gain inspiration from from everyday life. More specific influences are architecture, and scenes from movies/tv shows for my paintings. I can get along with just about anybody. I enjoy in depth conversations on any subject. I enjoy getting intoxicated with people. I am LGBT friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

David Bowie's song Star Man!

"A healthy mind that is fully open free from prejudices and narrow attachments, develops an ability to see things as they are - to see things in their wholeness. When the mind enters this state of learning there is creativity; there is the opportunity to be truly alive moment to moment."
~Krishna Reddy
