When you're born with artistic talent, your subculture is pre-determined for you.
I always felt a little odd and out of step and out of place, even in my own family. I am usually most comfortable around other artists; even the, "annoying", ones.
I was surprisingly young when I developed a non-conformist attitude, although I couldn't really express it until high school and later.
I have always been very eclectic in my tastes, and do lean towards alternative EVERYTHING.
I'm pretty open-minded, and have never judged anyone for their life choices.
I have long-ish hair, almost always have---and am still wearing mostly dark, plain clothes, loose and comfortable, as much as possible.
I am an environmentalist as well as a designer.
I am pretty sure no one can quite understand where I'm coming from, unless they are realists, perhaps have a pretty wide creative streak, and maybe experienced a few bumps in life. These things lead to much more compassionate individuals.
