: Bio; " Vary short & skinny Vrs. 1.1 " :
Born in a major city on the Washington Coast. Moved to California at 2yrs. old. Moved back and forth between Cali., Many parts of WA., and Oklahoma until 14yrs old. I then attended a Non-profit Private School in the vary near reaches of B.C. for almost 2 years. Living in parts of Oregon and Washington for most of My adult life, with short stays in parts of Oregon.
I have lived with Crohn's for about 25Yrs. and continue to pursue My love for doing digital art even through the hardiest periods of illness.
Yes it is true that one can say only so much in ones life., and then there is only the echo through the minds and voices of others. some lives contain volumes of events and feelings, so complex they are mysterious., ? to be unraveled by generations.

I don't write as frequently as many might., I had difficulties with reading & writing at a young age through early teens. but sloth is not the issue. different priorities maybe...aside from that.

My up-bringing is fairly complicated., having never met My father, a Professor of art in Metal sculpture, and being raised by My mother as a single child. By the mid 70's my mother began exploring the civil rites/sexual revolution and the art movements around them. I often wandered the university at Oklahoma Central, usually finding myself in the theater watching old Superman episodes. Yes there were lots of parties, with lots of vary high people. Mostly I would hang out and watch people mingle and listen to there conversations, then go wander around the the buildings to see what I could see.
There were plenty of intense altercations and frantic exodus along the way.

Moving frequently, and having My share of difficulties in school, often left to fend for Myself at home alone, left little time to develop solid friendships. I was generally well behaved for My consistently changing environments, being prone to entertain Myself with pencil and paper and the occasional Model-mash-up (taking several different parts of different models and making My own creations.)...These activities continued over the years, developing into more sophisticated application with new tools and incites on technique. Math & Science come easy when not hindered by reading deficiencies.
Stumbling throw life withe My mother, memories sally up unique and disturbing events. biker parties, tree planting camps, bars, living in a garage, sometimes little to eat. and sometime Beauty.∫ I remember going to a river side party with a mixed Biker/Hippy(for lack of a better word,U can shot me latter) crowd, being bored I went back to the carryall truck and sat there. perhaps 40 minutes had passed that out of left-side window I saw what appeared to be three Native American youth beating up white man, the man crumbling to the ground and the boys looking around, I turned my gaze away fixed straight ahead hoping the door were locked.., time stopped and don't have any idea how long before I looked back. When I did they were gone. I eased out of the truck and went to tell someone

back to My struggle with Reading., after moving from school to school., averaging about 1 Yrs. between. I had bin pushed up until 7thgrade with approximately a 1stGr. reading & writing level., dew to my unusual records and testing scores(Showing the ability to due things like algebra, largely in My head consistently had a tendency to through people off). eventually I fund Myself in a nonprofit private school in Canada., On a small Mt. no Electricity and about 26 head of highlanders.Oh, and yes I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was a kid
