Title: loves you

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Location: I have no idea where I live.

I am a professional performance painter, a multi-instrumentalist songwriter with a fetish for blurring melody and percussion, a scientific illustrator, a sound engineer, an integral theorist-practitioner, and an essayist.  My mission is love and inspiration; my deepest mortal desire is to move others to the same awe I experience in the face of our world's tremendous majesty and mystery.  Needless to say, I don't get much sleep.
