My name is Chris Davis, and I'm an artist/graphic designer, photographer, studier of arcane knowledge, musician, nerd-extraordinaire and all-around nice guy... and humble, too. :-)

I work for Clipper Magazine as one of their 3rd shift artists, and live in Lancaster, PA. My hometown is the thriving metropolis of Elizabethtown, PA, about half-way between Lancaster and Harrisburg... I still claim lordship over that territory, so you younger punks better not get any bright ideas just because I currently reside outside the borough.

I'm single.

I am a blend of Welsh/Scottish, Italian, Hungarian and Slovak (equal quarters) with a strange and often disturbingly high level of Germanophilia going on in my personality (one of the reasons for the boots, if you've already seen my pictures). In other words, don't piss me off or I'm liable to invade France while eating pizza and playing bagpipe music. ;-)

Politically, I'm a libertarian... with nationalistic tendencies.... and delusions of royalty somewhere in the family tree.... go figure. From 1993 to 1999, I was heavily involved with The Libertarian Party, during which time I was treasurer for the Lancaster County Libertarian Committee & wrote the 1994 platform for the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania. In the Fall of 1995, I interned at The Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank in Washington DC, and was a delegate to the 1996 and 1998 Libertarian National Conventions. Though I haven't been active at all for several years, this small view of past activities should tip you off as to where I'm at in the realm of opinion.

I recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of my delving into the study and practice of the magickal arts and sciences (for those of you who have known me for a long time, can you freakin' believe it?). Does that make me an "expert" in the occult, or some sort of "master wizard"? I don't know. I certainly have many opinions, ideas and theories regarding the paranormal and magick (which I'm more than happy to discuss with anyone)... I could probably write a book, in fact. Could I be a guest on "Coast To Coast AM" or any of the other shows which cover such topics? Maybe... again, I don't know. I have my own views and have forged my own path. Take that for what it's worth.

I have a multitude of interests, which can be gleaned from the sections to the left. In addition to those, it might prove useful to anyone stalking me that I am also into...

• Photography. A little less than a year ago, I bought myself a birthday present... a low-end professional camera (a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi). Photography is something I've wanted to get into for years, but never seemed to get around to. Well, that's now changed. I've done a few large photo shoots (500+ pics), as well as minor ones here and there (less than 100 pics). Keep an eye on my Pictures section and my blog, as I'll be posting the results there.

• Playing guitar, bass, flute, odd percussion instruments, synthesizers (when I can get my hands on one) and I am beginning to delve into learning how to play the didgeridoo... thus I have wide tastes in music.

• Italian food.

• German food and beer.

• Food, in general.

• Logistics, strategy and tactics, both in a gaming environment and in real-life situations (thus my interests in war, history and World War II).

• Collecting, well... lots of different things. I tend to be a bit of a pack-rat or, as I like to call myself, a "keeper of the archives".

• Anything that is considered arcane, strange, otherworldly, supernatural or paranormal. You know, "X-Files" type stuff.

I think that's a good start... I'll list more at a later time... stay tuned.
