The What?


Brilliantism is the home base for all of the products, sounds, writings, and designs that make me who I am. Even though it’s a home base, there is no forcefield. You can enter at will and touch everything. STORE.htmlMUSIC.htmlCOMIC.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3

Oh, I’m Aaron, by the way. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Because of one really hot day in the late 80s, I can’t enjoy zoos or ice cream cones. My first word was “bubble,” my karaoke go-to is Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds,” my favorite book is The Phantom Tollbooth, and I love pinball.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OiV_5kEt6Ashapeimage_3_link_0
