ABOUT ME

I make art. I also make cartoons. I make lots of t-shirts with my cartoon characters on them. I also love riding my bike. I am a pescatarian and I'm a beginner at yoga. I love watching indie movies and old cartoons. Cereal is 90% of my diet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing a couch is a great way to help out the global community and I want to take part in the CS project by introducing myself to the amazing people around the world and also offering a comfy place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experiences so far have been outside the CS website. But, they have been by far the most interesting moments in my life. Have always been a part of the defining moments where I felt I grew as an individual person and citizen of the human race. Really great and enjoyable times. I am looking to extend these moments using the CS site and also by sharing a couch in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I make large prints. Once I did a Steamroller Print: I made a large relief woodcut and had a steamroller run over it. . . it printed onto a large sheet of fabric (Printmaking is my life).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach drawing and to develop the skill that not everyone allows themselves to. A good drawing is not simply about drawing a straight line, rather drawing a crooked line is much more interesting. I can draw a cartoon for you, maybe a portrait.
