Hi! My name's Chris. I've lived in Los Angeles since 1995, when I came out here for grad school. I 'm originally from the north side of Columbus, OH. and I'm 41.
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, dudes, football (Ohio State and the New Orleans Saints), sea monsters, painting, pine trees, bookstores, tennis, Chiddy Bang, going to the gym, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cricket Magazine, gloves with the fingers torn off, the "Gemini's Twin" sketch on Saturday Night Live, Parks and Recreation, illustration, rugby players, Trina Schart Hyman, Stephen King, horror films, Hillary Clinton, film history and unexplained phenomena.
I blog about illustration, painting, Atari, Christmas, books, style...and things from my favorite era: the late 1970s/early 80s. As well as assorted other stuff!

The HighLine before. Joel Sternfeld
I watched this today. Although barely any plot or acting to speak of, it’s a really authentic look at the early 80s rap/tagging/breaking culture in the South Bronx. If you’re into that world (like I am), check it out!
PS Fab Five Freddy and the Rocky Steady Crew are in it!
Washington Square North
This is beautiful! Take a minute to check out these photos.
