my name came from a typo.

I was corresponding with a guy in a sci-fi club I belonged to. A "renegade artists" branch to be exact. He started calling me "Uncle", but his first use of it he had mistakenly used a "K" instead of a "C". I adopted the mispelling because it looked kool.

When I bought my site, it wasn't hard to get the name, but promoting it has been hell. Most people end up getting a company who sells bathroom readers. I bought my site to promote my art and lifestlye (but due to my job I haven't the time to get many paintings compleated and shot for internet use).
Then about a year ago I took down my blog (which was boring and tiresome), made a bulletin board (which is accessible through the site) and revamped my image. I then decided to promote myself as everyone's favorite unkle.

I promise to be that cool unkle who teaches you how to smoke, who sneaks you some booze, who show you proper bong care, who gives you extra long hugs.... no wait not that type of unkle. But everything else I strive to be. Plus a good artist.

Mo-Holler.
