In His Own Words
About him
I'm a writer - novels/novellas, short fiction, tv, plays, graphic novels, games, films. comic writer/cartoonist. game writer/artist, digital product designer, software designer, toy designer. freelance narrative and design support for amusements, scriptwriting assessor, custom cartoonist, game design support, web designer. poet, lyricist, video producer, art director.
I wrote 3 short novels, turned the first one into a stage play of 25,000 words, turned down as too novel-esque, so now am converting them all into full length novels and screenplays. I have begun a new full length novel and two blogs - one of reviews and a mixed-media blog with videos, links and text.
I'm finishing and starting writing 40 projects due within 2 years. I'm also tinkering with game engines, vintage coding and learning 2d animation and writing my own e-course.
Me and my friends are trying to start a studio managing tiny-budget collab projects - zine, video, comics, indie video games. And I freelance for a day job to support my business which I am developing over the next 3 years.
My last day jobs were web designer and programmer for a school and data entry/file clerk.
I wake up noonish, take the early day to relax with a book or some comics/magazines - which I collect. Then I spend a few hours designing some mecha/digital product art. Then research or reading a novel. Ideally cook lunch, do house chores and have dinner. I often start my creative work around 6-8pm. Major projects include my zero-budget feature documentary video movie and freelancing gigs (mostly web design and amusement design atm.) When I don't have a major project I take three hours to work on three major writing projects. Draw, fantasy map-making, storyboarding or Photoshop for 1hr. self-study 2d animation. work on my blog. watch a movie. on my days off I binge-watch good tv or trashy tv. I don't go to sleep until pretty late and I like an audio book for about half an hour before bed.
About his ideal match
fun, younger than me, shorter than me, athletic-ish, as smart as me - that last one is not a deal-breaker - there has to be intellectual stimulation but I'm not a total snob. Ambitious, creative, unique, stylish. Generous with her time and attention, thoughtful, sensitive, passionate, intellectual, articulate. She cares to take an interest in my interests and occasionally do thoughtful things for me, simple gestures, and share with me hers, so I can do the same. I'm looking for a partner in adventure. Someone open, sincere and adventurous. to push me out of my comfort zone once in a while. a real connection.
