I figured after a year of being on dA, it was time to dust off the old profile picture and replace it with one taken from this year.

I am crazy and yet I have moments of brilliance. My insanity is contageous, so you have been warned!
Interests
Favorite visual artist
Don't have a particular one, I just know what I like when I see it. Colors and lack thereof tend to capture my attention more, though emotive pieces always seem to speak to me as well.
Favorite movies
Dune (not SyFy's version) because it started my early appreciation of all things sci-fi, Star Wars trilogy (original, not the retouched version), Evil Dead, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Princess Bride and Fifth Element.
Favorite TV shows
Once Upon a Time, Eureka, Firefly, Haven, Phineas and Ferb, Ugly Betty and The Legend of Korra (Avatar)
Favorite bands / musical artists
I am all over the place with this one. From classical to heavy metal, depends on what I am working on and I fit the music to get inspired.
Favorite books
My first two loves were Ann of Green Gables and Little Women. Now I read whatever I get my hands on, though genre-wise I tend to lean towards horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.
Favorite writers
Dean Koontz, Stephen King, James Patterson, George R.R. Martin, Ray Bradbury, and Edgar Allen Poe.
Favorite games
Wow, so many! I am a BioWare addict-they make it, I buy it. Adventure, RPG & FP Shooter FTW!
Favorite gaming platform
Xbox 360, cuz I can.
Tools of the Trade
My wits, humor, good music, a Bamboo Fun tablet, and little else. Oh, and COFFEE-2 sugars and a healthy splash of creamer!
Other Interests
Video Games, Writing, Working on traditional art pieces (mostly landscapes)
