I am a constant work in progress, while primarily a visual artist including oil, watercolour, pastel, ink, mixed media I also make jewelry, sculpture and then there is all of the video from all kinds of sources. Some with my own footage and some public domain films etc. So, I constantly need background music for all of the video. What the hell, I'll just make my own. I have been around a while and worked as a VJ and DJ in numerous clubs in Chicago including Metro, Smart Bar, Medusa, Park West, China Club VIP room, Neo, Kaboom, Limelight and a few other odd gigs.
