Not to toot my own horn or anything, but...
I was featured in an art column in a local paper recently.

http://www.currentmag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/may_1_2008pdf.pdf

Page 12. Full page interview, in the center spread next to the cover story. Maximum exposure, whut?

(Nevermind that it's a friend of mine who does the column, haha.)

Now, shower me with the compliments that I deserve! :P

10. This is only going to fuel the flames between you and GiC over who gets me, isn't it?

6. Thanks.
The article is slightly inaccurate though. I no longer have a head full of dreadlocks, haha.

5. Cool. good for you!
:yourock:

some thoughts:

you have a beautiful mind and an artistic soul. :D

You are 20 yrs younger than me. Wow.

Those guys on the front of the cover looked scary. :scared:

I am not at all familiar with RadioHead, but I've heard OF them.

I esp liked that pic you did with the rainbow coming out of the mouth. Cool.

:hi:

9. The guys on the cover are a really great band.
Check out their song "Make It Wit Chu." Not scary at all.

Radiohead are quite great as well. I highly recommend the song "Karma Police" if you wanna check them out.

11. That is so cool.
But you're not as nerdy as you think. :)

And I love that you like Journey. I do too, and everyone makes fun of me for that. :)


Very nice piece. Congrats! :hi:

18. I try to avoid horn tooting, I am a pretty modest guy...
But it's hard to not mention something like this, haha, I'm pretty excited about it.

19. zOMG
Upon seeing Johnathan Kennedy's artwork for the first time, you can be quite certain that underneath that head full of dreadlocks, there is a beautiful mind.

Truer words were never spoken
or written


:hug:


wonderful

24. Haha, I knew he was up to something...
Thanks gray. Side note: What'd you think of Lost this week? It was a low key episode, but I think it was really important in Jack's character development.

27. Very low key episode, but that seems to be where all the clues for future
episodes are laid out. That was a totally different perspective on Jack. When you think back on it, the entire episode was a mindfuck.

I am going to be so sad when this season ends, haha.

What's the deal with Christian Shepherd, though? Weirdness abounds with that situation.

29. They showed the white tennis shoes.
Remember when Jack found those in the jungles when he was following his dad? I read somewhere that Christian is connected with Penny's dad. The family tree of LOST is soooooo dense with gazillions of branches. More than Harry Potter, which I am reading AGAIN.

Oddly enough, a friend of my younger brother decided to interview me for her high school art project a while ago as well. Very flattering, haha.

Buck Angel, the FTM tranny pornstar is partners of a girl I befriended online (Elayne Angel) who ran a piercing studio in the French Quarter of New Orleans ('Rings of Desire")which has closed down and never really re-opened after Katrina.

That is pretty cool about the Buck Angel connection. Shitty about the piercing studio, though.

33. That's very cool.
Good picture of you too. :)

Is that paper widely read enough to have some girls following you around now? You need an adoring fan club. :P

39. Congratulations! You're famous!
Well; at least there you are!

But your PDF file crashed my computer! :crazy:

So, I didn't get to look at the article.

(I just got back online) :(

Good job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
