I wish I never had to eat, sleep, talk, or have sex. I wish I could exist as a disembodied mind with the ability to see and transform matter...
I live in Las Vegas. No, it is not that cool. I am a cynical tyrant of massive proportions. Everytime you watch an episode of Jersey Shore a book commits suicide. I find this world to be the most fascinating thing ever created, I want to cover the planet in a man-made flammable substance and set it ablaze. Those who think only sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain. The world is under the authority of signs and symbols, not humans in specific social standards. I believe in the power of the mind.
My work is mostly done with a pencil and paper, nothing more
