Paul Weller, John Hiatt, the British invasion, Blue, techno and electronica, amibient (or is it ambivalent music?), Punk, some straight rock, some alternative, Tangerine Dream, Oasis, Stones, Beatles, a lot of non-mainstream artistss. I hate music where you have to have the Singer Dance with his or her dance troupe onstage to be entertaining. I also don't care for performers who can't also pull of their music "live". Southside Johnny and the Jukes with Steven Van Zandt.

Non - fiction, history, politics, rock musician bios. Prosperity and mind-expanding reading. World War 2 history - My father fought in Europe in the First Division, the Big Red One. Self-improvment. Books on Gettysburg. Books on the Cinema.

Indie and Foreign films, quality Hollywood movies, Hong Kong and Japanese Cinema hits, Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann.. "Blade Runner", "No Country for Old Men", "Michael Clayton", "American Gangster" from this year. Cate Blanchette, Jeff Bridges, Zhang Ziyi, Christopher Walken, De Niro, Keitel, Old Clint Eastwood movies, Maggie Q, "Goodfellas", "Mean Streets", - I could go on and on.

Late bloomer, ex-athlete,sensitive, also accomplished artist who p robably should have had gotten established by now, if something was going to happen. I've got an unusual sense of humor. About ready to turn art into part-time finally. Seeking to win the lottery or Beautiful rich Sugar mama to support my painting (joke) or a HUGE Arts grant so I can just focus on creating artwork and showing it, and not relying on the terrible income from it.

Movies - especially indie and good foreign films, most types of music. Laughs and a few beers with friends. Attractive ladies, warm and friendly people. Fellow artists. Good books. Animals. Good food. The look of Oriental girls, (but this isn't exclusive) A sense of humor.

Greed. Corruption. Arrogance. Lack of compassion. too much materialism. Controlling people. Exploitation of others.

Reading, catching LOTS of movies, listening to music. I'm a bit of a history buff. Working out and staying in shape.Civil War battlefields. Checking my e-mail and creating gag articles and writing in different characters to my friends as a joke. Satirical e-messages and Holiday cards.

Atlanta is still pretty dry.   I hope your commission comes to pass.  Your night scenes with all the neon lights really glow.

flstormz - Thanks for the comments.  Medium is acrylic, markers, and some other mixed media on Bristol board.  I do larger versions of these, but in oil for more working time and richness.

Wow - these are amazing! You really captured the evening atmosphere and the lights. What medium?
