About me

I've always fancied dreams, sarcasm, and naps. But life seemed to get a lot easier when I embraced common sense, honesty, and hard work. Nowadays I'm not so sure. I work a lot. Balance is my nemesis. But at least I know it. GI Joe used to say that knowing was half the battle. But that show got canceled, so maybe it's not the best source of life coaching.

Supposedly, the two keys to success are being good at what you do and being good at promoting what you do. Here goes: I've dabbled in everything from fine art to graphic design to filmmaking to product development. I've helped to create several successful brands, have made about a dozen full-length videos, and am named as an inventor on several worldwide patents. These days, I work in online marketing and am a creative consultant on the side. In my "free time" I'm working on my latest script THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. It's about a guy who poisons his best friend to gain custody of his prize-winning Himalayan. There's an alien too.

Alright, born and raised in Paris, it's difficult for me to read and appreciate your story! Your style is good. Your Paris perception is horrible! You made me laugh at some point but please, tell me you're jocking about the Art at The Louvre! Also, I wonder what you were doing in Annecy? Bye, Sarah

Thanks man. That's actually exactly what I was going for, even though I didn't spend long writing that song, it came about after an extended time listening to alot of Rites of Spring and Unwound.

It could be the grail, but in all reality it's just a light bulb.

How's spring time in LA? You are correct it is the Adbusters flag, I love that thing. I actually pulled that flag out of another photo I took during a protest in Denver in 2002. Maybe I'll throw those shots up here too!

Like the colours and the idea but the design has a tendency to put me in mind of genetic reconstitution or altering or what ever Dow Chemical and others call it.
