Hi! My name's Chris. I've lived in Los Angeles for 16 years. I 'm originally from the north side of Columbus, OH.
I was a child in the 1970s and a teenager in the 80s.
I'm single right now, but I'm in love with someone and it feels great!
I'm a creative writer and artist and have shown my work in galleries in Los Angeles. Check out my art here.
I'm also a contributing editor for the popular art blog Daily Dujour.
I like graphic novels, Christmas, tide pools, grilled cheese sandwiches, reading, biker moustaches, football (Ohio State and the New Orleans Saints), sea monsters, painting, pine trees, bookstores, tennis, going to the gym, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cricket Magazine, gloves with the fingers torn off, dudes, ladies, dudes, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, illustration, rugby players, Trina Schart Hyman, Stephen King, horror films, Hillary Clinton, film history and unexplained phenomena.
I blog about illustration, painting, Atari, Christmas (all year), books, style and pop culture/tv/cinema/design/video games from the late 1970s and early 80s. And assorted other stuff!

“Bad boy” (1981, oil on linen) by Eric Fischl
* Eric Fischl (1948) is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker. Fischl has embraced the description of himself as a painter of the suburbs, not generally considered appropriate subject matter prior to his generation. Some of Fischl’s earlier works have a theme of sexuality and voyeurism, such as Sleepwalker (1979). In Bad Boy, the subject is surreptitiously slipping his hand into a purse. Eric Fischl’s early paintings are haunting and erie impressions of a uniquely American landscape charred by the hopeless fire of the American dream.

Hallway, Aron Wiesenfeld
“Bo Bartlett is an American realist with a modernist vision. His paintings are well within the tradition of American realism as defined by artists such as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth. Like these artists, Bartlett looks at America’s heart—its land and its people—and describes the beauty he finds in everyday life. His paintings celebrate the underlying epic nature of the commonplace and the personal significance of the extraordinary.
“Bartlett was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where realist principles must be grasped before modernist ventures are encouraged. He pushes the boundaries of the realist tradition with his multilayered imagery. Life, death, passage, memory, and confrontation coexist easily in his world. Family and friends are the cast of characters that appear in his dreamlike narrative works. Although the scenes are set around his childhood home in Georgia, his island summer home in Maine, his home in Pennsylvania or the surroundings of his studio and residence in Washington state, they represent a deeper, mythical concept of the archetypal, universal home.” -Tom Butler
