About Me: I hate filling these things out; I always end up going off in about 12 directions and sounding like a schizophrenic person..... But let's give it a go...

I'm an executive creative director at an interactive media company / art director / model / hair stylist / makeup artist / wardrobe stylist / fast driver / mechanic / animal rescuer / personal spell-checker and walking dictionary.

I smoke too many cigarettes, drink way too much coffee, and spend way too much money on clothes.

I'm also a vegetarian (with the exception of the occasional sushi binge), and don't eat refined sugar, processed foods, or saturated fat, so I guess that makes me a difficult date. Haha. Sorry.

I change my hair style constantly.

I am the absolute definition of a Scorpio.

I am Ornithophobic.

I am annoyed by people who call me "Goth"

My ribcage is flexible and I can move each side independently. It's a good party trick, and frightens most people. My mother still insists that it's "normal" though. Which it totally isn't.

I have a Siberian Husky named Bruce Wayne. He is my bestest buddy ever.
Body Alterations: Thirteen Tattoos including my chest batties and a portrait of my favorite pet tarantula Laksmi on my left forearm. My latest addition is a large Apple logo on my wrist. iRule. Holla.
I Listen To: Right now I'm somewhat ridiculously obsessed with JRock/Visual Kei/JMetal. Dir En Grey, Moi Dix Mois, D'EspairsRay, D, Malice Mizer, et al. I also have an unwavering weakness for Dean Martin and all things Rat Pack.

Other perennial faves include Tori, Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, placebo, The Distillers, Bikini Kill, Kovenant, Skinny Puppy, etc etc etc....
Artistic Influences: helmut newton. joel-peter witkin. terry richardson. cindy sherman. juergen teller

Turn Ons: articulacy; creativity; subtlety; an appreciation for david lynch, avant garde couture, and bleak landscapes; christian louboutins; the ability to use a thesaurus; good branding; the word 'cohesive'

Pays The Bills: I am responsible for making all of the things that you see, use, wear, and read on a daily basis pretty and marketable, and making you want to buy said things.

ok, to "kern" is to adjust the spacing between characters, right.
SO, when I open and close my fingers, I am "KERNING" the word KERN (i.e. adjusting the space between the letters on my fingers). Because I'm clever like that, see (and also because I'm a huge nerd and things like kerning and leading and ligatures make me excited.....)
It's ok, I didn't expect most people to get it, haha.

HAHA, that's awesome. But then the letters would have to be sideways and that would look awkward.

Yay, thanks for getting my obscure nerdiness.
It gets lonely here in Typography Nerd Land sometimes.

I deal with a lot of these "new skool" designers who don't understand the fundamentals of typography....now I will have a visual reference for them. ha.

depends on your mood i think. i'd probably be extra-cynical and go for ariel.

caslon would be nice. american typewriter?

i'm kind of surprised you know it. i know some very accomplished designers who haven't got a clue. they aren't youngsters but learned graphics post-desktop, so i've generally assumed it's a generational thing. i started back in the 80s on magazines and movie titles so it was persistently hammered into my head.
