Pisces

Raised in suburban Connecticut /New York City. Weaned on a steady diet of science fiction, occult philosophy, heavy metal, anticipation of Armageddon and delusions of grandeur.

-Late 80s/Early 90s: Art college at Pratt Institute NYC; recession, urban angst and family upheaval forced a retreat north to western Massachusetts; several subsequent years spent in ivory tower developing illustration portfolio and dealing with NY/MA culture shock.

-The 90's: Moved back & forth across Massachusetts several times, landing in Boston and finally Northampton. Transcended personal barriers, uncovered conspiracies, chased UFOs. Exploration of Digitopia, enjoyment of the Fat Years.

The 21st Century: The Time of the Devil Idiot King. Welcome to the Future: where every task at every job every day everywhere is a high priority covert op just to make sure shit actually gets done.

NOW: Planning the revolution whos coming??

Beautiful and brilliant people from anywhere
