I also create other random things.

I rather enjoy tattoos, the art and act of photography, the climbing of rocks, listening to and/or playing music, the world of real beer, all things culinary, the process of design, filling my brain with randomness, riding around on pieces of wood, and among other things, blasphemy.

I have a complete and utter lack of anything resembling religion and/or faith.

I'm rather smitten.

Modblogged a few times.

I get tattooed by Jay at Trigger Happy in Vancouver.

Current Mods:
-Sleeve on left arm inspired by Roger Dean (in progress).
-Mask above crotch based on a Mike Giant piece.
-Giant squid on right side.
-Thistle plant and roots on right arm based on Aaron Horkey's art.
-Ornate red chest piece (inspired by Ulver).
-Rhino beetle on the back of my right arm.
-"Eye of Horus" on each wrist.
-Script down my left side (armpit to hip).
-Blackwork on upper back.

-9/16" Lobes
-8G Nipple (Left)

Retired Mods:
-Various facial and ear piercings.

Anything else, and you'll just have to ask.

I was modblogged today for the BME boys calender. I suppose that means you should go an vote for me, that is if you want me to be in the calender haha.

Another sleeve session on Wednesday. Stoked!

If anyone has a Zivity account, check out my new set with Dagon! "American Smut"

Finished a painting/drawing tonight, it's been a rather long time since I've done such a thing. Lots of photography and digital art but it's been some time since I painted and actually finished something. Also unusual is that I actually rather like it.

Finally get my sleeve worked on again this Thursday, the last appointment got canceled because Jay hadn't drawn the rest of it up.

And finally a quote, from the illustrious William S. Burroughs - "I spit on the Christian God. When the White God arrived with the Spaniards, the Indians brought down fruit and corncakes and chocolate. The White Christian God proceeded to cut their hands off. He was not responsible for the Christian Conquistadors? Yes, he was. Any God is responsible for his worshippers."
