Hawkmang
Austro-Jeffersonian with a passion for the humanities, economics and politics. I'm a visual artist, globetrotter, bookworm, gadget junkie and nature lover constantly striving to be a Samarai with the pen (er, keyboard).
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."
– Thomas Jefferson
