Who the Hell is Derek Dykes ?

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

dd

I am bigger than a bread basket, and slightly more detailed than a medieval woodcutting. I lean toward the theatrical – and I am perfectly happy as I am.
I am completely devoted to my children.

 

For anyone who knows me, they already know it all. For those who don’t – I am easy to get to know. I am a single dad with 2 kids. I have quite varied interest – but I am not common. I don’t fit in, and I like who I am despite that (or partly because of that). I wear archaic clothing all too well, and lean towards the theatrical. I am generally happy , but like the rest of us, I am human. I try hard to be kind, but I do not always succeed. I enjoy good Scotch, but I enjoy good company even more. I am an author, photographer, illustrator, and all-around artist. I believe that life is much more interesting than most people believe – I explore the spiritual as well as the physical. I don’t like anything that embraces anger or violence as a way to exist – we make our own reality.
