about me
i'm a recent transplant to the bay area, having scored an almost mythologically afforable spot in direct proximity to both ocean & park space - i'm jobless @ present, but chasing multiple prospects (both short term/nearby & my eastbay dreamjob) & absolutely delighting in my new city!

i'm a studio art graduate, currently flounding through the doldrums of post bachellaureate existence, trying to pretend i have a snowball's chance in hell of getting a good enough job to pay off my crushing student debt. i'm also an easy going queer hedonistic worshipper of beauty - i find beauty in almost everything, & i'm always slightly in awe of the world around me.

i was born & raised in rural hawaii, & btwn '99-'08 i lived in pdx. i was lucky enough to share my life w/ an amazing girl for almost 7 years - she passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in november 2006 due to diabetic complications. i still struggle with her absence in daily life but the i am also actively healing & learning to live & pursue my own adventures.

on november 12th 2006 becca died in her sleep - she passed away a little over 3 months before the date we'd picked for a commitment ceremony to mark our 7th anniversary. i fell apart - both of our families came to portland to help, & our friends came out of the woodwork to give... read more

its just starting to hit me that i'm in the last stretch of my yearly visit to hawaii... monday morning i hit the airport, & tuesday morning its back to life as usual in portland. i always feel like i've wasted my time here when it departure rolls around; @ least i made it to the volcano to visit pele w/ my dad yesterday, & i went on a walk by myself out to the cliffs @ kaloli point where i spent so much time in my wangsty youth. the weather has conspired against me swimming so far which is... read more

somehow in the doldrums of my life i'd lost track of the passage of time; today is the second anniversary of my graduation from reed.

i'm working the same job & living the same life was then - for all my talking & dreaming of bigger & better things i've accomplished <b>jack shit</b>.

living & learning @ reed for the 4.5 years i was a student felt like flying through everything @ a breakneck pace... this stagnation i'm wallowing in now is so constricting & opressive by comparison, yet i ... read more

well, though i don't think i'll use the blogging function here much, i figured this might be a good spot to pimp my art from... i've got a fair amount of stuff on my main deviantart gallery ( theobroma.deviantart.com/gallery/ ) & a few snapshots & sketches in my devart scraps gallery too ( theobroma.deviantart.com/scraps/ )

i'm gonna try to hit my parents up for a digital camera for x-mas this year, which would mean i'd be able to post a LOT more art as i draw it (plus, camwh... read more
