I'm Johnny. I also go by my initials, JQ.
I own a BA in broadcasting, emphasis in audio recording/production. Currently studying for an MFA in illustration (emphasis in graphic novels, but also doing general illustration and concept art). Aside that, I have a solo music project in progress, which I'd describe as a blend of shoegaze, post-punk, indie rock, 80's goth, post-black metal, and more.

My Art: Tumblr sketchblog | Flickr | Deviantart | Gaia Art Walk |
My Music: * stay tuned for links... Last.FM, bandcamp, Myspace, FB, the whole deal.
Shoutcast Radio: * stay tuned!
Other Sites I'm On: Last.FM | Formspring |
Completed Devil Tail's Quest (after 3+ years): Donators List here -- thank you everyone!!

A bit more about me:
I'm an '03 oldbie. Live outside San Francisco, but consider the city my home. I'm pretty left-wing, also fairly existentialist. I have a wonderful variety of friends, and am open to all people. Despite my sometimes bombastic demeanor in the forums, I'm really friendly and (usually) polite; I love making new friends.

Some of my major interests include:
* Music. Been to more than 100 shows, seen more than 200 bands. I listen to many styles (punk, metal, hip hop, electronic, indie, experimental, etc), but my forte is post-punk and goth (Joy Division, Bauhaus, etc), which I'm an aficionado at.
* Comic books and graphic novels, thanks to my grandpa. I'm *especially* a Batman nerd. Also, really into Sandman, among others.
* Media studies and criticism,(through my broadcasting education) especially with regards to feminism, LGBT, racism, glass ceilings, media control and human rights, and effects on sociology and psychology. (might sound a strange interest, but I had some great professors)
* Video games, though I don't play as much as i used to. My favorite console is Dreamcast.
* Modelling, I model for my fashion design and photography friends

It's fine Johnny! No worries 3nodding I'm super excited to see the mural when you're finished! I would love to see it! Glad you are giving yourself a break! Great call.

Oh I can show you! I am currently making a pair of cuffs for a blouse. And also just making a bunch of lace trimmings/edgings in general! I don't know what I'll do with that one yet but we'll see ^^ My current long project is this tambour embroidery insert for a shirt that I grew too big for lol. I've created several clothes ^^ My current favorite is this crop top and I am currently wearing this nightgown I made! I knitted myself this cute heart sweater! And I made a darcy shirt and a petticoat, which I love wearing under my outfits for the extra style ^^ I also really like weaving, and spinning yarn. Here are some shoelaces I made! And I have so much fiber to spin lol. I'm trying to spin it all and use up all my yarn to make space for other things gonk It's my own fault lol.

Programming wise, the most big recent thing I made was the website for the 100 Days of Art event here on Gaia! The event just ended ^^ But it would update daily with the new themes and a preview for tomorrow, in a format that was easier for people to read! I also made an automatically updated image so that I don't have to change it on Gaia every time 3nodding Currently I am learning Godot, mostly because I didn't enjoy Unity and FNA/XNA won't work for what I'm looking to do. (I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but one of my hobbies is game dev!)

Oh very nice! Did you see the new glass flooring of the space needle or it hadn't done that yet? It's super cool! I love Seattle to visit, but I hated living there. The food can be so hit or miss for me. You should come back here sometime and I'll show you around! (Or not, I understand xd ) But do let me know if you do ever visit ^^

Oh wow, I would have never guessed, but I suppose most people don't choose Estonia because there are other "popular" tourist destinations. Other countries in Europe are cold too! I just wonder if nothing has been popularized on social media in Estonia yet hahaha. Good to know! I may go to Hungary soon, not sure. It all depends on my expenses sweatdrop Probably not this year, I'd have to say. Hopefully after I get my promotion though at work! ><;;

Okay sure! ^-^ I moved to San Diego a few years ago in the middle of the pandemic from Seattle. I needed the change and I LOVE it here! I'm so much happier but I do miss my friends. I have been working on improving my skills that I want to outside of work, and for the past few years, my focus has been fashion/fashion related skills. So I've been sewing, weaving, lacemaking, knitting, crocheting, spinning (yarn), and other skills related to those lol. It's been busy! But also very fun 3nodding And I've also been continuing to program for fun outside of work. Trying to find my love for it again since work is so dull xD

That's awesome Johnny! How wonderful :3 You should show me the mural when you have a chance and if you're comfortable! It sounds very lovely.
I feel that about balancing other hobbies xD It's hard!! I love that you're doing your best and keeping up with them when you can! Oooo how was that? Did you go by yourself? o: Was it for any reason or just was on the bucket list?
