The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Dark Greetings Everyone. This is my first time at Vampire Rave, so I'm pretty new here. My name is Alfonso and I am a Fangsmith in Los Angeles, CA. I have been involved in the Vampyre/Gothic Community herein Los Angeles since 1997. I started making Fangs for the Community first through an apprenticeship with Alejandro from The Lord of the Fangs in 1997, then in 1998 I started my own thing which I called TheGraveFangs.

In the year 2000 I joined the US Navy and did Four Years of Active Duty. I did 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. During my time in service, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel to other countries and that enabled me to make fangs for people all over the World. I came back to Los Angeles in 2004 and am still involved with the Vampyre/Gothic Community although not as active as I would like due to some injuries I got when I was in the service.

I have been married for 10 years and have 2 boys and 2 girls. I love my family very much.

I consider myself an Artisan as I have many hobbies besides making fangs, among them Photography and Calligraphy. I taught myself how to make Chainmaille Armor and Jewelry from scratch. I start off with wire and end up with some very nice work.

I love to read. Among the many genres I like are: Fantasy, Fiction, Science Fiction, Fact Fiction, and of course, I Totally Love to read about Vampires!

I listen to Black Metal Music as well as old-school Metal and some Classic Rock, Classical, Medeival, Trance and Atmospheric Death and Black Metal, Viking Metal and pretty much anything that is Metal. Although, I do like some Hardcore Techno without the vocals. Just the music.

I would like to meet people of similar interests and maybe make a few friends along the way. If you guys have any questions or would like to know more about me, just ask. Thanks.
