Some history of me

This is my first press. My mom thought I may turn out to be a gay off-braodway dancer after seeing this picture.

I quit dancing and began taking copious amounts of karate. Yes - I was the world’s most dangerous fighter.

Got a job in silicon vallery after school, hated it. Went to the Art Institute and started making some bad drawings.

and bad paintings…

Did my first public performance whilst there - free ideas!! Yeah!

Got an artist in residence at the San Francisco Sanitary Landfill. Started making sculptures with all of the stuff I found out there.

How About a Burrito at My Favorite Place?

I posted an ad on craigslist asking people to join me for a burrito at my favorite travelling taco truck in Oakland. We met up at a specified time and ordered together. After ordering, I took a picture of the person. We ate together, discussing whatever was to come about. When we finished, I took a snap of their “burrito sculpture,” (a.k.a their trash).
