CURRENT MISSION
Reestablishing myself here in my chosen city, Working a niche gig with few days off. Looking for art jobs and motorbike pals.

ABOUT ME

I'm an artist trying to overcome some self doubts and get the paint flowing. Got a motorcycle, not really hosting. I'd love to meet up and hangout, or give you advice on the area if you're passing through. I'm politically progressive but I get along with most people as long as they're tolerant, and most travelers seem to be

PHILOSOPHY

it all went down in may '68 man! lol not sure, it's ever evolving. Maybe "Don't hurry, the end is waiting"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I lived in SF my house hosted a lot of wonderful people. I was kindly taken care of in Italy and in Texas so I have some couch karma to pass along! We formed a strong group in Albany NY, and in Ohio I met just a few strays

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Italy twice! So many nice folks, actually quite a few were not even from this site, just people I met. Hosting is a blast, I've made some great friends, I hope I can visit them someday

Interests

I like to work in the arts, but I really wish I didn't have to work day jobs and could just make or show art. I like to learn about physics and natural systems. Motorbikes ( i know where all the curvy roads are, and have done several long trips). I like punk and post punk and garage and some other random music. oh! ART: Peter Doig, Adrian Ghenie, Francis Alys

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like this George Orwell book about the Spanish Civil War. I like Vonnegut, I like stuff about physics, and socialism in art. I like Murakami and I used to read lots of Beat stuff

I watch too much netflix, independant stuff/art films; Weird horror, crime shows, usually not the cop ones

Music= the Jam, thee Oh Sees, garage rock, Misfits

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I was a kid I won a hot-air balloon ride in a raffle. It was magic, absolute transport

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught studio art in various capacities for 20 years, and can help you with technique, but don't let anyone tell you your own instincts. I have some tips on traveling the US and camping ( I recommend the Green Tortoise, and New Orleans, and Utah)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Oh I'm an ok cook (now vegetarian and vegan stuff). I will probably be going to see some contemporary art in your town if you would like to come. I can maybe help you fix something. I have a good friends network, and can return the favor if you ever visit near me.

Countries I’ve Visited

Italy, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
