Astralan Internationl

Bill Cosby said it the best: "I started out as a child", and sometimes I think I'm still one... then I stop thinking. Currently, I work for Austin Community College, my wife and I and family have resided in the Live Music Capitol for nearly 20 years now. Having worn many hats over my life, even though I may have resorted to technology for a living, I still call myself an artist in a somewhat less literal sense. Yes, I can paint, draw, sculpt, play music, sing, write books and lyrics, create... but art to me is a way of living. Everything in this world is art, and having gone through profound creative thought. Technology is my way to support living, but it is not my life.

Anyways, the site. It has been through many phases over the last decade. I have things for sale, story offerings, links, the usual stuff. For 8 years I have transformed the web into an Advent Calendar, in which I post little facts about the four weeks leading up to Christmas along with an ongoing story, cookie recipies and songs. I have taken a haiatus on doing the stories, but I rotate what I have done lately.

Please feel free to rattle around the site. Visit the Blog; visit the Forums; visit the chat room. I may not be putting much out lately, but you never know! And please, support your national anarchist by buying a ZOD 2016 bumpersticker!
