Alright boys and girls... the name's Parker. My mission is clear. I'm here to do my part to help the creative community (artists/musicians/filmmakers/writers/dancers/carney folk/etc.) evolve to the next level where creativity is breathing in and out of our every surroundings. A few years ago I came to the realization that you can sit around and bitch about something or you can stand up and do everything in your power to create positive progression. So, now I am...and I encourage you to do the same. It's hard for me to contain my energy especially when I'm passionate about the goals I'm working toward. I'm more excited about the things happening in and around me than I've ever been. There is powerful energy flowing through this city and it's my job to tap into it and utilize it to open peoples eyes and realize the impact that we can make when we work together to build a community. I believe unity is a powerful force and don't have time for "haters", negativity, or destructive behavior towards others.

I'm the Creative Director/Managing Editor/Event Coordinator for a magazine called RVA Magazine. Our first issue came out on April 15, 2005. We are changing the way Richmond media works and showing people that a local publication can be intelligent, funny, and visually exciting and also have a much needed, honest edge................We are constantly accepting submissions from artists, writers, designers, photographers, pimps, and circus freaks................check it out, pick one up, and ALWAYS support you local creative community. Check out our new and improved website at ...RVAMAG.COM


I also help run and organize events at Gallery5 (formerly fire station steamer co. 5). We bring innovative art, music, performances, etc. to this unique location. It has been called the "hottest" gallery on the art walk and is quickly becoming the leader in evolving the art scene into something exciting, fresh, and long overdue for the Richmond area. Get ready cause you ain't seen nothing yet!!

I was also part of a team of partially enlightened, highly evolved, maniacal deviants born from a druidic ritual involving monkeys, rubber bands, dog hair, wooden shoes, and Mr. Rodgers.
We called ourselves [man speaking chinese]. We are currently on hiatus due to our drummer being abducted by entities from another dimension that closely resemble Larry Hagman (known in TV land as J.R. Ewing).

As far as my personality and such goes....I'm sarcastic, sporatic, sometimes a spaz, sometimes mellow, sometimes sweet, sometimes not---but always genuine. I have a wacky sense of humor that ranges from silly to dry. I can't stand people who whine about themselves. I'm brutally honest in a constructive way. I believe in living life in balance and that too much of anything is not good for you. I have an adventurous, untameable spirit and think that travelling deepens your knowledge and expands your soul...............I ramble a lot.................
Oh yeah, I'm an artist/painter as well and need to get my ass back in my studio...
