# About me
I've been doing art in one form or another since before my brain learned to form long term memories, so it must be about three weeks now. My primary medium is watercolor, with photography a close second and oil coming up fast from third place. I've also done acrylic, wood and clay sculpture, charcoal and graphite drawing, silkscreen, drypoint, digital, and pastels. I just acquired an etching press, so now I look forward to destroying brain cells with a whole new set of chemicals and solvents.Current Residence: The Second Floor
Favourite style of art: Work that expresses the artist as well as the subject.
Operating System: coal-fired windows xp
MP3 player of choice: ipod nano, the blue one
Shell of choice: Black Leather
Wallpaper of choice: Mermaid with Opera Gloves and Beach Ball, by me
Skin of choice: spicy pork rinds
Favourite cartoon character: Scooby Doo, The Incredibles, Spongebob, Archer
Personal Quote: There's no glory in being a chicken$#&*.

hey matt. I hit 50,000 pageviews and decided to showcase my favourite piece from the gallery of some of my most prestigious watchers. thanks for watching and here's the link to the feature
50,000 PAGEVIEWS!!! thank you allWell, I am not an illustrator. I am a writer and that doesn't always make it easy to promote my creative work online or on deviantart. Still, thanks to many talented illustrators and painters that understood my concepts and visions, we have collaborated to create an awesome gallery. I really should have left all the work up while i was on hiatus but oh well. it is back up now and thanks to the community, I just hit a milestone! 50,000 page views!
feels great and although i didn't hit 1000 watchers yet, i hope to this year... somehow.
I can't put up an illustrative work to mark the occasion but I can pay it forward a bit... by showcasing my favourite work of some of my watchers. so here is the showcase gallery
this is just a selection from my watchers. hopefully i can do a round 2 some time. thanks again everyone for the pageviews, watches and favs!
