Hey, I'm Erik.

[TalkingBackwards]

I don't usually do the forum thing, but I love meeting new people and this one seemed like fun, so I wised up and joined.

I'm currently a college student in California, studying to be an occupational therapist. I've been drawing since I was two years old, and I linked my DeviantArt page in my profile, so if you'd like to look at some of my drawings, feel free to mosey on over and take a gander. I just got a tablet and drawing software, so I'm still getting used to it, but improving quickly. Tips are always welcome!
I also love making stories. I just began writing them down in narrative format a few years ago, so my writing abilities still leave a lot to be desired, but I'm improving in that respect as well. My writings are very personal to me, but I'm thinking of posting something on here. I'm not sure yet.

I've been dressing the way I want to since 7th grade; I sure have come far since then!
Favorite bands include, but not limited to: Skinny Puppy, OhGr, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Tears For Fears, Bauhaus, Sex Gang Children, Tom Waits, Velvet Acid Christ, and all that sort of thing. I looove new music, though, and my playlist is ever expanding.

I've got a blog, Y!Gallery account (site is NSFW), Formspring, Facebook, and an oft-ignored Myspace page. Just ask if you're interested, or go to my DeviantArt page for the links.

Interesting. Is the tablet a wacom? A friend got one of those and his creative output has expanded exponentially. He really likes it a lot.

Tom Waits. Yeah.

Welcome to this place. I look forward to your contributions.
