I'm a guy from Ottawa, ON who is a rather big video game, comic and animation fan (no Janapese [[anime]] though). |
|||
I myself am an [[animator]] and [[comic book artist]] and am currently working on a short [[stop motion]] film and two comic books. |
|||
I am a fan [[surrealism]] and [[expressionism]] and, as such, am partial to such names as [[Sam Keith]] (of [[The Maxx]], [[Four Women]]), [[John Kricfalusi]] (of [[Ren & Stimpy]], [[The Ripping Friends]]), [[Jhonen Vasquez]] ([[Invader Zim]], [[I Feel Sick]]), [[Salvador Dalí]] (works are too numerous and well known to recount), [[Edvard Munch]] (pronounced 'monk', creator of [[The Scream]]), [[Matthew Barney]] ([[The Cremaster Cycle]]), [[David Cronenberg]] ([[eXistenZ]], [[Videodrome]]), [[Don Herxfeld]] ([[Rejected]], [[The Animation Show (film)]]), [[Mike Judge]] ([[King of the Hill]], [[Office Space (cartoon)]], [[David Lynch]] ([[Eraserhead]], [[Lost Highway]]), among others. |

In respect to video games, I have written many papers on the subject, mainly it's relation to popular culture. Despite my apparent affinty towards [[Nintendo]] creations, I tend to favour franshises owned by [[Konami]] as I feel such titles as [[Silent Hill (video game)|Silent Hill]] and [[Metal Gear Solid]] are two of the most, to use a term used by the United States' [[Library of Congress]], '[[culturally significant]]' games to date. I am currently investigating the [[Castlevania]] series, but early reports are grim. I am really interested in the video game anomolies, such as the failed [[Virtual Boy]] and [[Game.com]] consoles\handhelds, the currently successful [[Nintendo DS]], and the soon to be released [[Nintendo Wii]]. |

I recently graduated from university with a general Arts degree and have no idea what to do with it. If anyone has any use for an artistic theorist who draws, writes, and\or plays bass, let me know. |
