Hello, I’m Doctor Octoroc.
This is neither my birth name nor my profession, but rather an alias I chose a number of years ago to sum up all my public interests in a title. For more information on this matter, feel free to read the Disclaimer.
Professionally, I am a Search Engine Optimization Analyst for an Internet Marketing Firm by the name of Reciprocal Consulting. I write, submit, link, document, analyze and do website edits for clients. I love my job for many reasons, but mainly because I work from home, make my own hours, make good money and have plenty of free time for my hobbies.
First and foremost, I appreciate Art in all forms. Literature, Visual, Traditional, Crafts, Music, Vocalism, and so on. I love Art and more so I love to create it when I can. Generally, I will exercise the result of my fortunate gene pool (thank you mom) in either the Music or Traditional sense, although I have been known to write a random novel or two.
As far as Music goes, I used to play piano. I still do, but I used to, too. I generally will play in the rock style, as made popular by artists such as Elton John, Ben Folds and Keith Green. I have played with a number of bands in the past, but my finest experience in the live music scene was playing Philly and Baltimore with Patrick Blake in Soul Shack Republic.
I also compose tracks strictly using my computer, combining FL Studio with AcidPRO. Anyone who is curious is free to listen to the tracks I have uploaded to my Myspace page. Many of my tracks are based on or heavy influenced by retro video games, such as those for early Nintendo systems.
As for the Traditional Art, I work a lot with Perler and Hama beads, arranging the soft plastic beads on a gridded pegboard and heat-fusing them together with a clothes iron. These pieces are most heavily based on or influenced by 8 and 16-bit video games, such as Nintendo, Genesis and Super Nintendo. Curious readers may follow the link to my DeviantART account gallery.
I also paint with acrylic on canvas. I have a few dozen paintings all done in half-inch pixels, depicting nudes with country flag overlays.
Aside from my hobbies I enjoy the same simple pleasures that most people do. For more information about me and my many endeavors , please refer to my News section for updates.
