Influences and role models are a rare commodity.
It would be easy for me to say that Frank Miller, Kevin Smith and George Lucas inspire me daily, but alas, they don't. It doesn't work that way for me.

However every now and then you are told about something that's so unique, so different in it's approach to life and the views we have, that you need to let everyone know about it. This happened to me the other day and as a result, I'm completely impressed and respectful to the ideals of: [link] - good for them and their mission.

As for myself, I'm forging ahead with my efforts to train as a tattoo artist and designer. It's what I really want to do with my life (well the rest of what I have anyway!) I'm now 34, and I don't have another 34 years in me, so this is gonna be one hell of a ride from here on out.

Excelsior!
