Hello to everyone, I thought it was time I put a little about myself out there, since I can no longer say, "I'm just checking this site out." My Name is Martin and I'm from Crow Creek, South Dakota. I'm Hunkpati Dakota and Hunkpapa Lakota. I'm also an artist and make my living that way. It isn't the easiest way to live as far as maza ska goes, but doing something you love and being able to survive that way is better than doing something just for the money and letting your soul slowly die. I used to work in the field of Social Sevices but see that it's a vicious circle and cycle that seems to have no end. Of course there are many factors to why people do and accept the things that they do, but I decided to pull back from it, anyone who can do it and do it well and still get that sense of accomplishment has my support, good luck. I don't suffer fools as easily as I once did, but I am always looking to learn something new about the human condition and people in general. I can say that I see alot of the same mistakes being made over and over by alot of the same people based on what others think of them and not what they think of themselves. On an added note, I see alot of profiles with a laundry list of what people are looking for and it's funny at times. Myself? I like masculine gay men, not straight "acting", I think that ability should be saved if your a closeted actor in Hollywood. My weakness is for pretty MEN or a beautiful face, shaved head and a goatee. I used to say pretty boys but....in other profiles I say, "I Don't want children". Masculine does not equal dirty or stank, invest in some soap and water and also try having a sense of style all your own and a personality works. As far as images go on the Internet, they are controlled and you can't get a good sense of someone from a just a photo. That said, about photos, you are you and if you are a gay man, you are what a GAY MAN looks like. The idea that one has to fit a stereotype is phucking NUTZ. BTW, What is it with guys posting pics of "themselves" with glasses and a hat? Too boot a hat they wouldn't have the guts to wear in public. Oh yeah gee, you look so GHETTO. (AS IF). Oh and before you get all ba-jiggity about my photo, it fits the over-all feel of my page and it's current, unlike some who post pictures of themselves from over a decade or more ago, I like it and that's what matters. My family, my sister Marlena is the most important woman in my life. She's been there for me through thick and thin and I'd do anything for her. She is younger than I am by 15 years, but I still learn something new about the world through her eyes. So when we fight, we go for blood and could hurt each other but we hardly ever stay angry with each other for very long, life is way too short to fight over who know's more lines from Muriels Wedding or QAF. (I'll just say this, she knows QAF better than I do and I have it on DVD) Oh and I should add that Sebastian, my baby or as some call him, my brat means the world to me. I got him just before someone killed my other dog, Montreaux. I had him for nearly 20 years and he just became part of the family. I'll just say this, we found out who killed him and "Revenge is better than Christmas"... My Art that I do is based on my heritage and culture. I sell some to Museums, Galleries and private collectors. Although I love the work that I do, I prefer old school ink, pencil and coloured pencil as my main medium. I've been drawing since I was a child and my main subject has always been women. I've been accused by some of objectifying women in my work, but I disagree. I like strong women and if they're beautiful while kicking A55 and taking names later, get over it. Some of my favourite artists are Olivia and Royo. Lately, since messing around with PhotoShop, it's become an addiction I would say, being able to manipulate images and going for realism in fantasy...I was thinking of starting a group for Photoshop Addicts, creating images for pleasure more than anything. I lucked out with my friends who ask me to do things with their pictures and give me freedom with what I have in mind..."I told you you'd look good with Pamela Andersons body and Angelina's Hair!" (My uncle later agreed). Also Wings as of late, well obviously... I also tend to leave comments for no special reason, just an image I reworked and want to get out there. Thank to those of you on my friend list who have commented back with your own. Also for keeping mine on your pages. Yes I do check to see if they're still there dammit. (LOL) Stalking my comments, that's hott! Well just some info and I reserve the right to evolve and change as I see fit. This is just a little about me and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. About GLEE, it isn't as bland and boring as FaceBook, but it does seem to have limited features here as well. The generators that one is "allowed" to use and the censorship of some content. You would never think that site for as it states above, Gays. Lesbians and Everybody Else would be so controlling, but maybe the reason for it is the "Everybody Else(?)" This a compilation video my sister made...pretty cool huh?
