Most of my art is aural, not visual, but every now and again I try to take pretty pictures on my travels or attempt to dabble in an art form that peaked in the 15th century.
I am a pro DJ in the Industrial/EBM/ Dark Electronic scene. I hold a Bachelors in Art History and specialize in medieval art and manuscripts (13th c. French High Gothic is a favorite). I am a Musician, Programmer, and Producer. I think conjugating German verbs is kinda fun and I'm not sure why. I like Legos. And sometimes love does feel a little like the end of the world.
But hey, I suppose that's just life.
