Nicknames: Brick, Mickasso

Aspirations: I'd like to be a freelance artist/illustrator, but my day job keeps getting in the way.

Education: AA at Everett Community College, BA in Communications and Art at University of Washington.

Birthday: January 27th

Sign: Aquarius

Music: I listen to 107.7 The End or 99.9 KISW. Mostly alternative rock, but I like everything except country. Linkin Park, Lifehouse, PowderFinger, Train, Nickelback, Sister Hazel, Metallica, 80's music, etc.

Movies: I'm a big Kevin Smith fan. I also like John Cusack movies ala High Fidelity with Jack Black. Army of Darkness also breaks my top ten as highly entertaining. Spiderman was great, but Episode II was disappointing.

TV: Oh, the dreaded boob tube. I'm addicted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Dark Angel is sweet too. Fine, put a hot chick in a tight outfit and make her kill stuff...I'll watch it. I'm such a tool...

Favorite Food: Italian - love spaghetti and pizza. Chinese Food takes a close second. And Teriyaki. Okay, Taco Bell too.

Coffee: Soy Vanilla Latte or Soy White Chocolate Mocha

Art Medium: I usually like black and white illustration. I usually sketch with Pilot pens. If I'm doing a final piece, I use Micron markers or maybe a Copic brush pen, but these pieces are far and few between. When I'm feeling adventurous, I might ink with a brush, use acrylics, watercolors, color markers, color pencils....okay, I don't feel adventurous much.

PC Game: Current addiction...Grand Theft Auto 3.p>

Console Game: Last console game played was Resident Evil.

Books: I've been working on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time forever. I swear I'm the slowest reader on the planet. He's put out two new books, since I started the series. Damn you Robert Jordan! *swinging fist in the air*

Cartoons: I don't get the Cartoon Network, so I'd have to say Batman Beyond, Superman/Batman animated series. I also like some of the classics like Thundarr the Barbarian, Transformers, SuperFriends.

Comic Books: I've been reading Green Arrow, since Kevin Smith has been writing. I've recently picked up many of the Sandman TPB's and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I also pick up X-Force, New X-Men, Authority, and JLA. I generally pick up books for the artwork. I like Chris Bachalo, J. Scott Campbell, Joe Madruiera, Jae Lee, Kelly Jones, Ashley Wood, Jason Pearson, Adam Hughes, Frank Miller, Simon Bisley, David Finch, etc. I also collect original Comic Book Art when my bank account allows me.
