About Me

Male, happily married to an avant garde artist, live in San Francisco.

Love sports and cycling, used to be a competitive long distance runner. Love Golden Gate Park and other parks, love seeing new places and travel, especially Europe. Involved in neighborhood issues and projects as a volunteer.

Really thought I would that writing would be my creative outlet, but after going to Burning Man in 2000, I found myself more interested in visual art.

Blue neon light is wonderful, fireworks are spectacular, mail art is satisfying, love the sun, have a hard time with cold weather.

I Never Flake

It simply is not in my DNA to flake. If you don't receive a swap from me, it means it has probably gotten lost in the mail. Please contact me if you don't get a swap and I will resend it immediately.

Comment: LOVE the king/cardinal combo with the brads and recycled pieces from the box (so clever!) The tribute to the different face cards made me smile. I'm a little sad that this project is over, but happy to have met you and the others in the "final five" who stuck it out till the end! :) Hope we'll swap again soon, especially since you got all those great new stamps! :) Happy 2011, Mark!
