Timb in a manic, muppet-like state of disbelief.

I am a parodic songwriter, professional graphic artist, and lifestyle fetishist living in South Florida. I have obsessive interests in songwriting, bdsm and sexual fetish culture, shibari, the phenomenon of wikipedia, hurricanes and hurricane prediction, the continent and surrounding islands of Antarctica, oleander caterpillars, spicy asian and indian foods, Bombay Sapphire, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and professional wrestling. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of useless pop culture. I also cook a mean breakfast.

I am very interested in music with a profound appreciation for artists that work in multiple styles. Songwriting and song-listening is my life. I am heavily influenced by the songwriting of Liam Lynch, Ween, They Might Be Giants, David Bowie, Prince, Alice in Chains, Digital Underground, Beck, Jeffrey Lewis and many others. My original music is probably most similar to genre-hopping artists Ween and has received critical acclaim in the South Florida alternative press.

I have long had an interest in glamour and alternative fashion. My flashy wardrobe has been heavily influenced by fetish, glam rock, and goth cultures (especially due to the year I spent in California), but takes primary influence from the glitzy outfits that I saw in the ring growing up watching professional wrestling in the 1980s.

I have a bachelor's degree from Ringling School of Art and Design. Since graduating college, I developed three video games as a 3d and 2d modeler and texturer. Those games are: Interplay title Star Trek: Starfleet Command, unreleased Rockstar Games title Duke Nukem: Man of Valor, and Running With Scissors title Postal 2. Star Trek: SFC and Postal 2 went on to become huge sellers worldwide.

I am currently outside of the video game industry and persuing careers in graphic & web design, promotions and music.

I wrote several comedy features for the cult comedy website misinformer.com.

I also was responsible for the proliferation of an online petition to bring back the citrus soda SURGE along with 'SaveSURGE.com' that eventually lead the Coca-Cola Company to introduce the new Surge-clone product VAULT. I was inducted into the SaveSURGE.org Hall of Fame in Feb 2003.
