My name is Chris Davis, and I'm a photographer, graphic designer, studier of arcane knowledge, musician, nerd-extraordinaire and all-around nice guy... ok, maybe not the nice guy part. I work for Clipper Magazine as a graphic designer on 3rd shift, and have been doing graphic design of various sorts for over 15 years. Additionally, I've been doing photography for the last two years. Contact me if you want to shoot! Check out my Photos section for both the Artwork and Photography I've been doing. I 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 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 seen me). Politically, I'm a libertarian voluntaryist... with 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. I went through a dormant period for about 10 years, but now find myself wanting to get active again, probably in the realm of arts and media... this reemergence is due largely to The Free State Project in New Hampshire and listening to alot of the media coming out of there, such as the Free Talk Live radio show. I will soon be celebrating the 22nd 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. In addition to all that, it might prove useful to anyone stalking me that I am also into... - Playing guitar, bass, flute, odd percussion instruments, synthesizers, didgeridoo and more... thus I have wide tastes in music. - Italian food. - German food and beer. - Food, in general. - Logistics, strategy and tactics, both in gaming environments 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.
