Hello, all. This is Cas. I have decided to try and actually keep up to date with posting of my artwork and photography finally instead of just my literature, so here's my corner of the 'net. As for photography, I like broken things and I like playing with make up and getting some pretty gnarly looks and then do self-portraits in a way. As for art, I'm working on realism right now even though my natural state is haphazard Max Beckmann. For literature, you can take a gander at my YWS profile and look at my portfolio. I write mostly speculative fiction and free verse poetry. You should find some of my early drafts on the site, but, admittedly, if you want my top notch stuff, you'd have to get your hands on some of my published work. :) Get in touch if you're interested in actually spending cash on me. I love it when people do that.
