Keith is the Chief Technologist for a brand marketing agency involved
in producing interactive and immersive environments and rich media
internet applications. He and his teams have won numerous awards for
their work including 2001 @d:tech awards for "Best Use of Technology"
and "Best Campaign." Another from the Macromedia Flash Advertisers
Alliance for "Best Use of Flash," the Cannes "2002 Shortlist" and the
2002 Media Magazine award for "Best Consumer Campaign."
>From 2000 till 2004 Keith taught three courses at New School University
in New York City. One in Digital Project Management, one in WWW Page
Design and Site Construction and one titled InternetTwo: Behind The
Screen."
He also plays guitar, having spent a three year stint with Dee Snider
of Twisted Sister, touring extensively throughout North America and
Scandinavia, with some audiences numbering over 20,000. A live
recording of highlights from tour in 1998 was released, as well. He has
released recordings and toured with Carnivore and Primal Scream NYC,
toured with Savage Grace and others. He collects and plays different
types of hand drums and percussion. He has occasionally co-hosted radio
programs on satellite radio and hopes to spend more time developing in
this area.
A body piercer since 1991, Keith has performed well over 22,000
piercings and over 150 cuttings and brandings. He also has extensive
experience with play piercings. Formerly a staff piercer for Gauntlet,
Inc. in NYC, Keith spent one year as a full time apprentice to Master
Piercers Dan Kopka and Mark Seitchik. Gauntlet founder Jim Ward, issued
Keith's certificate on August 2, 1994.
He opened his own studio in April of 1996. Called Modern American
BodyArts, Inc., the studio received worldwide acclaim for its
atmosphere and cleanliness. It was also the very first Body Piercing
studio in Brooklyn, New York. Keith was voted Best Piercer by the
Village Voice as well as Time Out NY. He closed the studio in April of
1999 in order to devote more time to other pursuits.
In an effort to promote understanding, Keith has given demonstrations
and lectures in NYC for organizations such as The Eulenspiegel Society,
Fetish Factor, GMSMA and LSM. Appearances in mainstream media such as
MTV, VH1, PBS, BBC, The NY Times, BME, Washington Post, BodyPlay,
Penthouse and many more have helped enlighten the public about the
beauty of bodyart in general, and body piercing and scarification in
particular. His most recent series of presentations are entitled "What
is Body Modification" and have been met with great success.
Keith has written monthly columns for Tattoo Savage and
BodyModification eZine and contributed to "The Guide to Safe Body
Piercing", distributed by WRS, the country's largest medical textbook
publisher. His safety proposal has been entered into the record of
Suffolk County, NY.
He was also the bodyart/fetish technical advisor for the movie
"Strangeland" which was released by the country's largest independent
film company, The Shooting Gallery, and co-produced "Night of One
Thousand Scars" at Webster Hall in NYC, an huge event that brought
together BDSM/Fetish performers and enthusiasts from across the United
States of America.
Keith's back tattoo of a large Japanese koi won two first place prizes
at the
2004 Woodstock Bodyart Fetival.
His personal web site can be viewed at www.nootrope.net, his bodyart
site
at www.modernamerican.com and his work related site at
www.keithalexander.com.
He maintains a personal blog at www.nootrope.net/blog and a work
related blog at www.keithalexander.com/blog.
He also studies Iaido (Japanese sword) and Nawa Shibari.

Need he be more to be worthy to eulogized. Who are you but a guy who
rides bikes and posts here often. Perhaps too often.

He was clearly passionate about everything that he did,
and this came across even in the impersonal medium of rbr.
I would say rest in peace.
But that wasn't really his style.

around 5 mph over a railroad crossing, loss balance going over the
third rail and fell down, right into the path of a oncoming car that
was driving parallel with him and about 30 feet behind him. Isn't there
a stat saying driving an auto is more dangerous, I don't believe it....

"To me, success was always doing what I wanted to do, so I could die
tomorrow and I'd feel extremely successful."
-Keith Alexander, January `05
Keith died while riding on Shore Road in Brooklyn. Witnesses say he lost
control ofhis bike while trying to avoid a small child riding erraticly. He
struck the fence that seperates the highway from the road. He was
pronounced dead at the scene.
And, no,I'm not going to tell you if he was wearing a helemt or not. If
that really matters to you, you are a dumbass supreme.
There will be a wake tomorrow from 2 to 5:30PM and 7 to 9PM at:
Scarpaci Funeral Home
1401 86th Street
Brooklyn, New York

Actually he meant well and liked Keith, but he's severely socially
challenged.
We are all going to miss him a lot and you have our best wishes. He

I agree it was an unnecessary cheap shot and regret that I can't speak for the
group when I offer my apology (they think I'm a dumbass too).
>> I call every single person on this newsgroup that name, without

In this instance, you should call yourself a delinquent, depleted, demented
degenerate, a decomposing dipshit; a demonic, dank, decadent, daft, deceitful,
dildoheaded, disrespecting darkle; a dastardly dorkwad, a debauching, dadaistic,
damned dumbass; a dandruffy derelict damsel that's in denial. Your desperation
is despicable but alas I digress.
>Also, this is the wrong newsgroup to read if you're looking for respect.
In general, I'd agree and say that going to any newsgroup looking for respect is
a waste of time - and this one is not as badass as it fancies itself to be.
Given that, it's always cool to show some respect to those that have passed on,
even if it pains the peabrains short on the necessary heart and soul. Save your
unbridled spit and anger for the living that can still fight back.

While there are plenty of people who die all the time that are really worthy
of being eulogized I have a hard time raising any enthusiast for mourning
the passing of a guitar player from Twisted Sister.
That ain't to say he wasn't important to some people. Just that I wonder why
those people would post that stuff here.

Mourn? Fuck no! But the fact that you are already planning a party honors me.
An unintentional show of respect. I promise to fart in your general direction.
Twice.

Well, Tom, he was a fairly regular poster in this group, and, as such,
that makes him part of what can be referred to as the community of rbr. If
some other members of that community choose to make note of his passing,
why not? Perhaps Keith did things for entertainment or to make a living
that you don't approve of. Fine - you don't have to note his passing. But
why does it bother you so that others choose to, to the point where you
criticize them for it? Apparently you think that rbr is only allowed to
note the passing of people on the Tom Kunich Approved List.

Keith was a person who lived life to it's fullest, and followed his
convictions. You may disagree with him, but that's never wrong. That's
what made this country.
