Being an artist allows me to be playful and imaginative everyday of my life.  I would never want to do anything else.

Here's a collage of photos taken of me over the past few years.  I'm running away laughing in St. Augustine in the top left; cracking up hysterically on the beach in PR on the right; getting serenaded at Plaza las America's by Incubus' Brandon bottom left; and lastly wearing Choco cat ears at the Hello Kitty bday celebration. Who knew I was so playful?  ;P

Do you have silly photos of yourself to share?  Go ahead and post your link in the comments.

"Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock." Kurt Cobain

"Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities." Stuart Brown

"Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold." Joseph Chilton Pearce
