93 I am an ARTIST of the occult. I paint, draw, tattoo, pierce, brand, sculpt (sometimes in flesh), write, and dabble in photography.

I am endlessly fascinated by philosophy, religion, science and human nature in general.

I believe that art can be used to enrich all aspects of human life, provided that people are open minded enough to allow for it.

I find great humor in terrible things and I feel guilty about that...sometimes; I find no real humor in human suffering, unless of course it is my own.

I truly enjoy being challenged in all aspects of my life and there is no subject that I find taboo. I am a Libertarian and more importantly I am a Libertine.

I believe in a sort of cosmic consciousness and I believe that statement to be vulgar at its very best.  I am a hemophiliac who engages in body modifications that make most physicians cringe and I believe pain can be used for positive growth as long as it is safe, sane and consensual.

I enjoy moving meditation.

I am "Shaitan Tchortanlli" of the "Metaplasia Playground".
