artist info

I like doing. I like most painterly mediums; acrylics, aerosols, oils. I also like black pens, soft sculpture and craft based sculpture.
Working with my friends is the best, keeping things project based is ideal as I like to continue to develop and like to move on when I have given what I feel to be the neccessary energy.
I do aerosol stuff, like graff stuff and also illustration but prefer not to be labelled by my mediums.

Interests include iconography, hiphop and other indirect forms of artistic narrative, cartoons, graffiti, men, hard women, good cooks, degenerates, entrepeneurs, seekers, prophets and vessels, flannel t-shirts, t-shirts, lingerie, ho-hoops, rosaries, wife beaters, chucks, jordans, gazelles, stan smiths, satchels, black, stripes, nerd glasses, braids, bra straps, cigarettes, longnecks, boots, braces, crooked teeth, broken english...

Creatives I admire would be Charles Bukowski, Leonard Cohen, Wutang, R Crumb, Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, Bosch, Tiffany Bozic, Miranda July, Marty Emond, Ezra Jack Keates and Frida Kahlo ( it would be easy to keep going but I digress). Most people I have met but most importantly my buddy old pals.

CEC- a brief note

The Current Economic Climate reached high visibilty on Queen St today with a gross increase in beggars, people with clipboards, and people trying to fish with craZy costumes. Also notable was the number of for lease signs and suits having D and M's on the sidewalk.
If I had a dollar I would be scared.
