Favorite mediums include: Collage, mixed, media, photography, and installation art.
Art movements that make me wet: Dada, Surrealism, De Stijl, Minimalism, Fluxus, Avant Garde, and Happenings.
I am also a musician. I play: ukulele, banjolele, guitar, mandolin, kazoo, and some percussion.
I sing - with soul.
Most modern music disgusts me. I listen to: experimental, psychedelic, 20s-40s jazz, 50s/60s rock & roll, 80s goth and punk, early 90s alternative, art punk, horror punk, psychobilly, rockabilly, punkabilly, vaudeville, cabaret, swing, folk, freak folk, Eastern Europen/Balkan/Gypsy, Turkish and Transylvanian, traditional Indian music, orchestral music, jug bands, one man bands, blues, and delta blues.
I am a writer who doesn't write often. In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing weird poetry for kicks.
