Osiris Khepera is an itinerant hermit tripping frequently on the line betwixt genius and insanity on purpose just to see what it does to people. Just Kiddin. I'm a guy. I do stuff. I like words, pictures, and shiny fabrics. Sundays need to come three times a week and I miss Fats Waller. Is that enuff? I get confused... Oh Look!
