I have always felt creative and held an affinity with words, text, typefaces, fonts, and page layouts. I enjoy prose and stories, especially the abstract, macabre, and sometimes deranged inklings of creative minds like those scribed by Edgar Allen Poe or even Shakespeare.
I appreciate abstract art, Impressionism, Romanticism, Naturalism, and the Italian Renaissance, to name a few art periods and/or movements. In fact, I have found that I also enjoy art history a good deal. I like science, especially astronomy, and I enjoy incorporating these ideas into my work, or perhaps a literary reference or something evocative of dark age myths or themes.
The point is that these things riddle my thoughts, rattling around among the shadows of inspiration that dance with my muses.
