General

I like weird creepy junk. Victorian houses and antique stores you can easily get lost in type of vibe. Always thinking about Silent Hill 2 and love old creepy Internet videos...and Jerma. I'm a movie, music and art obsesso. I can talk talk talk about such for hours hours hours, especially if you get me talking about my favs.

Music

Currently listening to a lot of 90s stuff. In Utero is my fav album and has influenced my art insurmountably. Also love a lot of 60s psychedelic rock & folk. Current heavy rotation: Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, Primus, Sonic Youth, Deftones, Swans, The Doors, The Beatles, The Kinks, Mac DeMarco, Slint, David Bowie, This Heat, they are gutting a body of water, Dead Kennedys, The Residents, The Butthole Surfers, Neil Young, Blur, Cory Hanson, Roy Montgomery, Pink Floyd, Jerry Paper, Weird Al, Claypool Lennon Delirium, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Oingo Boingo, The Beach Boys, The Smiths, Broadcast, Stereolab,...

Movies

Ari Aster is my fav modern director I've loved everything he's done. Besides that: In general David Lynch, Kubrick, Tarantino, & Wes Anderson. Specifically: Apocalypse Now, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil, Harold & Maude, The Shining, The Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation, Eraserhead, No Country For Old Men, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, UHF, Death Becomes Her, Longlegs, Coraline, Beetlejuice, (I'm literally just adding as I think of stuff or can sum it up)

Television

Currently watching: Dexter. I mean, it's been fun to watch. Favs: The Curse (I need more than 3 people to have watched this show), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Nathan for You, The Rehearsal, Twin Peaks, Freaks & Geeks, Psych, Community (before everything went to shit RIP!), Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Gravity Falls, Flapjack (this show I think formed half my brain), Courage the Cowardly Dog...

Books

Last Book Read: Perfume by Patrick Süskind. Very good Currently Reading: No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai No rhyme of reason to what I read just whatever piques my interest. Worked at a book factory so I read a lot of random stuff.

Heroes

I don't like to say i have "Heroes" but more so people that maybe motivate/inspire me to make art. Kurt Cobain as an all around artist really inspires me and the way he tackled dark subjects. Ari Aster with how he tells stories and finds comedy in the darkest places Junji Ito I admire for his dedication to his craft. Working insanely hard while seeming to absolutely enjoy what he does and never wanting to stop creating. So cool
