I am Aleksander. I install wiring, and give the world electricity because I have to (make $$$). But I write and produce music because I love to. I also enjoy drawing (mostly with .05 mechanical pencil) and I also occasionally write a poem or two (usually lyrics for my music).
I studied music for 5 years at the StalinGrad Musical Academy since the age of six (piano major). StalinGrad (the site of the largest battle of WWII), where I was born, has been renamed to VolgaGrad, since Volga is the river along which the city is built (the word "Grad" simply means "city"). This is in Russia, if you didn't already know... Anyways, I moved to the states when I was 11, and here I've discovered my knack for pencil drawing. It is my second favorite form of creativity after writing music. Lately, however, I've been too busy to do much drawing, as my precious remainder of creative free time is usually devoted to composing or producing other musicians.
I want to start getting back into more drawing, and I'd like to try my hand at oils, too.
On the web, I usually go by Maestro Al, although I don't spend too much time chatting, as my time is quite limited.
I enjoy sharing new ideas and politely expressed opinions with other intelligent individuals, who can appreciate art and creativity.

Well, Maestro, here I am once again to say thank you very much for commenting quite strongly on eyes. It was much appreciated. I did consider expanding the story line, but right now I've been in this Writer's block from hell and it's prevented me from reaching what I can. When I post a new chapter, don't worry, you'll be the first to know.Thanks a lot. It's always nice to hear from you.

I know what you mean about dragons... my first year of dragons (1998-1999) were all done in standard 0.7mm pencil, no color to speak of.Fave Users (9)

Well, Maestro, thank you a lot for making a space before your finals and writing me... That's true! I've seen InuYasha a thousand-five hundreds-twenty-nine-and-a-half times up here, and I'm getting exhausted of seeing those eyes. Hey, I've got big eyes and I see them everytime I look in the mirror. But this "Japanese's dream" (wooooah, big eyes) is kinda weird, dude!
Well, the truth is that I logged in today and I don't know where the bip are my stories... The website changed and I feel like... Well, I don't know...
I like that thing about music, I got an American Fender instead my 15 birthday party, and my mom is getting sick of me... Yeah...
Ok, I hope everything's right up there...
By the way, I was very surprised about the place in which you live, but I can't tell you...
:)
