drawing stupid cartoons and making dumb comics, collecting old stuff/comics/toys/78rpm records, daydreaming, learning stuff, exploring old abandoned buildings, walking in the woods, digging through piles of old junk at antique stores, watching old movies, staring at the stars, complaining about everything modern, lamenting my fate

1920s/30s cartoons, silent movies, precode movies, 1930s/40s serials, 1930s/40s b-movies, 40s/50s film noir, early 30s warner bros movies, buster keaton movies, silent comedies, three stooges, mack sennett, bela lugosi movies, ray harryhausen movies, ghost world, ed wood, christmas story, burbs, big lebowski, starcrash, little miss sunshine

anything pre1935ish (jazz, dance bands, blues, oldtime, string bands, ethnic...), primitive stompin 1960s garage, early wild rock and roll and rockabilly, raincoats first album, Raymond Scott, some newer stuff like Squirrel Nut Zippers, Janet Klein, early Sleater-Kinney...I went through a phase like a year ago where I loved the band Bratmobile...other than that most music of the last 50 years leaves me cold.

Secret Museum of Mankind, my collection of old bound issues of National Geographic, anything on 1880s-1950s american culture, really old books with cool etchings, Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass,

I draw dumb cartoons and comics, collect too much old toys, old comic books, 78rpm records and old junk....and my name is Brandon...there's more to me than that, but I never know what to write in these stupid things.
