Octopi: I can't even remember when this obessesion started. I've always loved the water and ther ocean, so this obsession came naturally. I own many octopus products and am always collecting more.
Man v. Nature: I am continually intrigued by the interplay of man and nature. I tend to find objects of nature overtaking t man more interesting than the alternate. I'm always cleaning parks and sidewalks.
Outdoors/Plants/Gardening: I have always been interested in gardening. This probably started with my grandmother and continues today. I love being outside and watching something grow; it is magical.
Video Games: I love to play videogames. My brother was too cool for me as a teenager ( i was in elementary school) and this is all he would do with me as a child. It's something we still enjoy as we've gotten older and friendlier.
Cultural Obsessions;
Beauty: This ones obvious. We are constantly bombarded with social appearance standards. A lot of people spend all their money to obtain this goal.
Money: Money and beauty seem to tie together. It is an evitable need but also a pain in the ass.
College Education: In American society, the need for a college education is undeniable. As an artist, I seem to struggle with the idea that I HAVE to go to school for what I love. Is it really a necessity?
Global Warming: I always find this topic interesting. It is impossible to deny climate change and the human races role in that, but we really have no idea what is/will happen(ing).
