essentially any sort of creative ventures i can find time for. much of the "hobby" time is split between graphic/digital design, web/print promotion, playing video/board/card games, and i'm a regular guest dj for an industrial radio show here in Chicago- HIDDEN FORMS.

hmm... now this would be spilling the beans. surely i'll be tapping all kinds of resources for projects i'd love to take on, but that doesn't mean i want someone beating me to the punch. that is of course except for those who have already done it, or are working on a similar project. for me the fun is in the creativity, and as much as can be derived from originality. doesn't mean i don't want to do a Spidey, or Bat, just that i want to focus on characters that you might not see many/any of.

Captain America: a slight variant on the Ultimate Cap.

Nikko Nocturne: an Original Character spinoff from a Wizard of Oz flying monkey; my girlfriend and i did a Wizard of Odd... essentially an evil dorothy complete with Cerberus Toto, and "scalps" of the Tin, the Lion, and the Scare.

Frank: from Donnie Darko; you know, the big dead Rabbit Guy?!

haven't really partaken in years. but i've enjoyed the classics, as well as some in recent years. really enjoyed the Last Exile series, and how awesome is Tekkonkinkreet! if anyone's got suggestions...

are you kidding me? this list could potentially include everything! some of the tops on my list- Ring of Red, Front Mission, Final Fantasy, Ultimate X-Men, Ulimate Alliance, Bully, Sid Meiers Pirates, Drawn To Life, Guitar Hero, Knights of the Old Republic, Marvel Trading Card Game, God of War, Prince of Persia, Rune Factory, Raving Rabbids... graphics are fun, but story and gameplay is key!

i conventioned when i was collecting comics as a kid- nothing remotely like what's going on these days. now we dork brother is back nearby, and my girlfriend is just as dorky as me, so we forrayed into the modern world of Con last year with Wizard, "in" Chicago.

Naughty James/Craig Cowling, Kevin Leonard, and Laura Dark. but what... no space for Fav Artist? Camille Rose Garcia!

here what i hear...

people "gone" wild- ugh! i'm all for pron, so go and get real pron! and costumers who portray outside their parameters- know what i mean? no offense intended, because it is awesome that you've got the passion. but let's stay a tad grounded shall we? and most importantly, i despise people who haven't a humble bone in their body. not saying you can't think you're the shit, but respect others too you twat.

a circle and a 7, great conversation, creativity, intelligence, humor, honesty, and a great ass! (hips included) ;)
