Cool, Crazy Person of the Month- Wesley Kimler



Artist Wesley Kimler, is internationally known for his colossal and evocative paintings, known in the blogosphere as "the Shark" on the Shark Forum (Opinion With Teeth: beware, you can spend many an hour there!) and known 'round these parts as "Daddy" to his beautiful little gal, Amina. We are thrilled to have him here answering our 6 Psycho Questions. Here are a few words from the multi-faceted Mr. Kimler!




1. What is the coolest thing that has ever happened to you?

Amina

2. What is the craziest fashion statement you have ever made?
God, I have always been such a slob -though I do like to head down and get fluorescent suits from the Pakistanis on Roosevelt Road.......

3. What is your favorite book?
Amina is named after the heroine in the great Egyptian novelist Nagib Mahfouz's first installment of his Cairo Trilogy -Palace Walk -currently I am enjoying With The Old Breed At Peleliu And Okinawa by E.B. Sledge -a gritty and harrowing account of two of the bloodiest battles fought in the Pacific Campaign of WW2 -as told by a private in the Marine Corp.

4. What toy can you not live without?
Toys? how about smoke and mirrors- I play for a living.

5. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Immortality- or at least the ability to not fear my own impending doom-

6. Who is the coolest parent you know (ties between your own Mom and Dad are totally understandable!)?
I am my own parent -and I am cool.
