My interests: I really like music alot. I don't limmit myself either. I like all kinds of music (except rap, country, hiphop (whatever that is), and ska). My CD library ranges from Death Metal to Classical. That's quite a range, don't you think? Want a listing of my favorite groups by musical category??? Ok, here it is:
There are more but this takes a while. I also like classical and cultural music but do not own any CDs in those categories. Hopefully I will soon own some though. Other interests of mine are comics. I know it sounds childish but I like comics. Not superhero comics or anime but very well done novel comics. I choose comics the really good art and good story lines. My favorite comics are, The Maxx (Image Comics), Death Dealer (Verotik Press), Satanika (Verotik Press), Igrat (Verotik Press), Faust (Northstar Comics/Rebel Studios), Chi Chian (Sirius), and Johny (Slave Labor Graphics). Actually, I tend to enjoy just about all of the Verotik titles, and I have nearly all of them. I also enjoy art. My favorite artist is H.R. Giger. Other favorite artists of mine are, Frank Frazetta, Simon Bisley, Sam Kieth, M.C. Escher, Royo, and J.R.R. Tolkien. My favorite cartoonists are, Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County, Outland), Sam Kieth (The Maxx, Epicarus The Sage), and Simon Bisley (Melting Pot, various fill-ins, front covers, etc...). When it comes to poetry, I also have some faves. My favorite poets are, Edgar Allen Poe, Aleister Crowley, and Goethe. I chose Goethe as a poet because the peice of his that I know about and have read was Faust. Faust was a long story but it was written like a poem. Novels and long stories can be fun too. My favorite novelists are, Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Dean R. Koontz, Piers Anthony, and J.R.R. Tolkien. A huge interest of mine is something that I participate in every Saturday night. Live-action, Vampire: The Masquerade. I enjoy playing VtM. It's fun, it requires the use of your brain, you get to act and live a fantasy life, the people are cool, and you're not so strange after all. I've only been playing VtM since mid November of 1997 but I've known about VtM, and Jyhad for quite a few years now. I finally decided to join in. When I mentioned art as an interest... it is also a hobby of mine. I am a graphic artist, a 3D/Vector/Animation artist, and a traditional artist. I work best with charcoals and pencils but am getting into alot of airbrush work. For my 3D work I use 3D Studio Max, which I've only been using for about 3 months solid now but am kicking ass at it. I've been using Photoshop, PSP, Illustrator, and Fractal Design Painter for a couple years now and can come up with some really cool stuff. If I just had a scanner right now, I could come up with some really cool shit for the page and even come up with some pictures of myself for you all to see. |
