Hey! Welcome to my profile. I'm just a simple Canadian lad.

Despite my age, I absolutely adore cartoons. My current favourites include Teen Titans (I am a huge Raven fan, as you can tell from my pen name, lol), Justice League Unlimited, Cowboy Bebop, Dexter's Lab, Serial Experiments: Lain and Dave the Barbarian. I also enjoy watching classic Simpsons and hockey, and British TV shows like The Young Ones and Blackadder. I love hard rock music of all kinds, and my favourite bands include Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Billy Talent, Moneen and Big Black. Despite it all, I also have a fondness for Bruce Springsteen (Hey, come on now, he's The Boss! lol).

Influences: Are varied, for sure. I draw on a number of sources from all kinds of media, although my particular favourites are comic books, novels, and films. The artists who have had the biggest influence on me would have to be: Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Bill Watterson, Charles Schulz, Dorothy Gambrell, Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Chuck Palahniuk, Stephen King, Bret Easton Ellis, David Michelinie, Harry Turtledove, Marv Wolfman, Genndy Tartakovsky, Dennis O'Neil, Al Feldstein, Mark Evanier, Shinichiro Watanabe, Stanley Kubrick, Jean-Luc Godard, Aaron McGruder, Bill Hicks, Michael O'Donoghue, Margaret Atwood, and Philip K. Dick.

"I try to understand the ocean beneath the thin layer of ice that is civilization. There's miles and miles of deep ocean, of darkness and barbarism. And I know the ice can break easily."
- Werner Herzog

"Each morning, to earn my bread, I go to the market where lies are sold and, hopeful, get in line with the other sellers."
- Bertolt Brecht

"Today I accidentally stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of our house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a 'shell' if you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tinfoil and paper bags." - Jack Handey

I love to write for fun, but comments and reviews are much appreciated.
