for fun I tend to burn plants, play with gesso and matte medium, invent recipes, research, question my love for scifi, robots and futuristic dystopian society, try to go into REM sleep, dye my hair red, kill zombies, dream of tattoos, create/creations, not be allergic to things, covet love and font envy, dream of futures.

Changes
A few months back, I lost all the info and writings and photos that I had hosted with my old host. I had some of my writing on my computer but often what I used to do is post something, then work on it offline on my computer. I haven’t added my writer/artist statment. Maybe I’ll create a new one?
I feel much more cautious with words these days.

If love is a radical force, the work I do as an non-traditional teacher and storyteller are testimonies to this. Love is radical.
