The Appetizer Table
...Take a slice of freshly made bread and a bowl of olive oil and balsamic and join me in my kitchen...
..Watch out.. It's full of deer!
About Me
- My name is James, I'm 20 years old, and I'm an artist :)
- I like gay war stories and finding weird little obscure bands to listen to while I draw or sew
- I like gender theory (the transsexual faggoty kind made up in me and my friends' heads, Victorian--Interwar novels (I'm an English major), and cooking
- I'm learning Russian right now on Duolingo, and I took a year of Latin and ASL respectively. I really love learning languages :)
- I'm a college DJ and I love to find new music and this is where I've been browsing genres recently!! ♡this sick website♡ Also check out my playlists page (under construction) which will one day have an archive of all my past broadcasts!
Interests & Projects!!
Not in any particular order
1. Art
drawing, painting, linocuts, digital, ceramics, bookmaking
2. Creative writing
I write mostly speculative nonfiction these days, trying to branch out into fiction. Somehow more difficult to completely make stuff up than to utterly alter what has really happened to me
3. Hand sewing
I just finished making a 1800s-inspired shirt from ♡this tutorial by Ora Lin on Youtube♡
4. Historical fiction
Interwar-period gay romance, 1900s-1940s. I LOVE Maurice by E.M. Forester and the sequel Alec by William DiCanzio.
5. Historical Fashion
~1700s European workwear, 1900-1940s American working class wear
6. MUSIC!!!
Currently into Eastern European folk & techno music but listen to a big variety of indie/folk/alternative/pop-punk/hyperpop/techno
7. Baking
I want to learn to properly bake bread this year! I'm world's No1 bread enthiusiast!!!!!!!!!!! (see olive oil and balsamic)
8. Lots of other stuff!!!!
I'm interested in disability rights & advocacy, gardening, the idea of "slow-living," and am a staunch anti-capitalist & vaguely anarchist. What else is new.
