ABOUT ME ...

FOR MY FRIENDS & FANS

MY WORK ... MY INSPIRATIONS ... MY ART ...

I AM A SPONTANEOUS RISK-TAKER WHO LOVES LIFE BUT HATES TIME… I LIVE LIFE AS IF IT WOULD END AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT… I TRY EVERYTHING ONCE AND WITH YOU MY LOV I’LL DO IT TWICE…

SOME PEOPLE FIND REASON TO LIVE OTHERS FIND REASONS TO DIE… LIFE IS TO FUCKING SHORT… MAKE A CHOICE.

FOR ME THE BEST MOMENTS IN LIFE ARE THE ONES YOU DON’T PLAN… THROW AWAY THE REASONS AND EXCUSES…LIVING IN FEAR IS FOR WHEN YOU’RE NO LONGER MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOURSELF TO YOURSELF FOR WHY YOU DIDN’T DO IT… LET YOURSELF FORGET YOURSELF JUST BE YOURSELF…

TAKE A TRIP… FAR AWAY AND GET LOST!! I DID IN BELGIUM… PARIS… MOSCOW AND JAPAN… EXPERIENCE THE PLEASURES… THE PROMISE OF FOREIGN PLACES.

PURPLE… MY FAVORITE COLOR HAS LONG SYMBOLIZED ROYALTY AND IS ALSO A SYMBOL FOR LEADERSHIP… PURPLE IS ALSO USED WHEN CONNECTING WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF, CREATING SELF-ASSURANCE AND DISCOVERING HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE.

I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF, POMEGRANATES, RASPBERRY, LIMES, DARK LOUNGES AND THE COMPANY OF WOMEN, I ADORE THE RITUAL OF DRINKING ABSINTHE AND THE SCENT OF FRANKINCENSE, MYRRH, AFRICAN VIOLETS AND TUNISIAN PATCHOULI.

MY FAVORITE FOOD, JAPANESE CUISINE, SUSHI, SASHIMI AND SAKE (HOT & OR COLD).

I PLAY DRUMS, A LITTLE PIANO AND THE VIOLIN IS MY FAVORITE INSTRUMENT, IT'S HAUNTING AND BEAUTIFUL.

MY SENSE OF HUMOR, UH, DRY AND A BID MORBID, IN GENERAL I'M RATHER INTROVERTED, WELL, MAYBE, OKAY ... I’M A LONER.

FUNERALS ARE LIKE WEDDINGS… IT’S THE ONLY TIME I SEE FAMILY…

GRAVESTONES ARE BEAUTIFUL… IS LOVE WORTH DEATH… SECURITY IS IN THE MIND NOT IN OBJECTS AND NOT IN ANOTHER PERSON… NO TWO LOVES WILL AFFECT YOU IN THE SAME WAY… THERE MAY BE AND THERE USUALLY IS ONE LOVE EXPERIENCE THAT LEAVES A DEEPER IMPRINT IN YOUR HEART THEN ALL THE OTHERS…ONCE IN A LIFE TIME EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE THIS KIND OF LOVE… SOME YOU MISS AND SOME YOU DREAM OF…

WOMEN… THEY INSPIRE ME… INTRIGUE ME… AND INVIGORATE ME… AND MY SOUL… SOME CAUSE ME TO CATCH MY BREATH… OTHERS MAKE MY HEART RACE…

LOVE … IT COMES WHEN IT PLEASES AND GOES WITHOUT WARNING… HOLD ON TO GOOD MEMORIES…

LOVE IS SPIRITUAL… SEX IS PHYSICAL… SEX… IT SHOULD BE REINVENTED EACH NIGHT AND WITH EVERY TOUCH A GLANCE INTO EACH OTHERS EYES AND FOR EVERY EMOTION AN ENDLESS KISS…

TRACE EVERY OUT LINE OF HER BODY... WITH YOUR LIPS... IN THE DARK...

LIFE IS LIKE A WOMAN... THE MORE WE KNOW ABOUT HER THE MYSTERIOUS SHE GETS...

TELL HER HOW MUCH YOU ADMIRE HER... WHEN SHE'S UPSET HOLD HER TIGHT...PLAY WITH HER HAIR... BRING HER FLOWERS... JUST BECAUSE... LET HER FALL ASLEEP IN YOUR ARMS... TELL HER SHE'S BEAUTIFUL... KISS HER FOREHEAD... CHOOSE HER OVER ALL THE OTHER GIRLS YOU HANG OUT WITH... AND IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH HER... TELL HER.

A CHRISTMAS MORNING IN VIENNA… MY WIFE… MY DAUGHTERS… MY PAST LIFE…

TAKE A WALK IN THE RAIN... A STROM… A THUNDERSTROM…

I WALK IN NO ONES SHOES... I FOLLOW NO ONE... I KISS NO ONES ASS...

A MIRROR, REFLECTION... REFLECTION IS ME... NOTHING CAN REPLACE THAT... DON'T WANT TO BE ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE... JUST ME... THATS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS...

WHAT EVER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME IS A PROJECTION OF THEIR IMAGE OF ME... IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME... I DON'T WASTE MY TIME TAKING ANYTHING PERSONALLY...

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO BE RIGHT OR TO MAKE OTHERS WRONG... THERE'S NO NEED TO JUSTIFY WHAT WE ARE...

ELIZABETH BATHORY AND VLAD THE IMPALER ARE MY DISTANT RELATIVES, BUT I’M NOT SURE WHICH.

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM ME... SO DON'T COME TO ME WITH YOUR EXPECTATIONS... I BELONG TO NO ONE... AND IF I BELONG... I BELONG TO THE WORLD... AND YOU MY LOV... YOU DON'T BELONG TO ME... YOU BELONG TO THE WORLD... IF I WISH ANYTHING... IS TO BE A GOOD MAN TO YOU...

EVERY SECOND I WASTE IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE...

I CHOOSE TO BE TRUTHFUL... AND AS A RESULT I END UP ALONE...

I OWN THINGS WITH NO EMOTIONAL VALUE, I’VE TAUGHT MYSELF NOT TO ATTACH EMOTIONAL FEELINGS TO PLACES, PEOPLE AND THINGS. I KNOW NOTHING LAST FOREVER, SO THEREFORE IT MAKES IT EASY FOR ME TO MOVE THROUGH THIS LIFETIME. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I’M AFRAID OF COMMITMENT. IF I LOVE YOU IS BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO LOVE YOU, AND IF YOU LOVE ME IS BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO LOVE ME.

LOOK TO YOURSELF BEFORE YOU POINT FINGERS…
WHEN IN DOUBT DO THE OPPOSITE OF REASON… SPONTANEOUS ACTION JUST FUCKING DO IT…

MY FEELINGS, WHEN I’M INSPIRED, CREATE EMOTIONS IN ME THAT TAKE ME INTO A WORLD I OFTEN DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.

IF I GOT TO CHOOSE HOW I DIE, I'D PREFER IT WOULD HAPPEN IN ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS INSIDE MY HEAD. IN THE MANY FAR AWAY PLACES THAT I OFTEN GO TO, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.

DEATH … I HAVE AN OBSESSION WITH DEATH … I HAVE EVOKING IMAGES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL DARK PLACE, BUT I KNOW IS WHAT I’VE CREATED IN MY MIND … I EMBRACE DEATH, I’M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH, THIS IS A PLACE OF MYSTERY & ELEGANCE … WITH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN DRESSED IN BEAUTIFUL BLACK VICTORIAN MOURNING DRESSES, WEARING VEILS & MASK IN A BEAUTIFUL COURTYARD … NO A BEAUTIFUL GRAVEYARD … DEATH IS SOMEWHAT EROTIC TO ME … I DON’T BELIEVE IN HELL OR HEAVEN …

FIND PASSION… FIND PAIN… FIND LOVE… FIND YOURS…

AS FOR MY STORIES… AS AN ARTIST THEY COME OUT OF MY OWN EXISTENCE… MY OWN FAMILIARITIES… THEY KNOW ME AND I KNOW THEM AND I WOULD NOT SUBSTITUTE NOTHING FOR THEIR PRECONCEPTIONS… IF THAT MOMENT COMES TO ME AS A FLASH, STRANGE AND UNPREDICTABLE AS MY LIFE, I EMBRACE IT… PEOPLE OFTEN ASK… “WHY IS YOUR WORK SO DARK”?... I READ ONCE THAT… “OUR DARK SPOTS ARE A BLESSING FROM GOD, RATHER THAN AN ENCUMBRANCE FOR WHICH WE ARE TO BE PUNISHED”… MY DARKSIDE?... IT’S MY FAMILIARITY, IT’S WHAT I’VE KNOWN AS A CHILD AND IT’S WHERE I FIND COMFORT…

LOV U FROM HERE ...

LOV U FROM THERE ...

LOV U SINCERELY ...

LOV U TO DEATH ...

-PEPPER

PS: ... CURRENTLY I’M COMPLETING A SERIES OF SHORT FILMS ... A MUSIC CD ... AND PREPARING FOR MY FIRST FEATURE FILM PROJECT ...

SHOULD YOU CARE TO PERUSE MY MEANDERINGS AND FREQUENT MUSINGS, YOU CAN READ ABOUT THEM ON MY BLOG PAGE. JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING … I HAVE A REAL ANGEL IN MY LIFE.
