Places where people can find your work:
Online at SweatShopMade.com or at my shop, the Sweat Shop, open on Saturdays in downtown Bellingham across from the Farmers Market. (1055 N. State, in the alley)
Favorite Song or Artist? Something you frequent when doing art? The Black Angels seem to have been my drink of choice over the past year or two.
Do you bike, and if so, what is your favorite kind of bicycling? It sounds silly, but I have to admit that I love to play acoustic electric guitar while commuting, or cruising [on my road or mountain bike].. on a nice day.
Did you have any proper schooling, or are you an artist by natural selection? I dabbled in various mediums until I studied graphic design at Western. Now I dabble in various mediums.
If you could do one thing with your work, what would it be? To promote wholesome sources of information, dynamically, effectively and enjoyably.
What are areas of art that you would like to explore further? I’ve been VJ’ing over the last few months, with a club gig, and have finally felt it’s time to take the training wheels off.. The future is wide open in regards to content, and application.. so much to learn and do, it’s ridiculous, I’m getting dizzy thinking about it…
Everyone has a dream. What is your dream?
Aside from a thorough first hand exploration of this planet and it’s inhabitants, I’d like to someday fly around in a squirrel suit.. I get choked up thinking about it
Do you have any mentors? Who are they?
I should mention my old man. He can’t help but to help, and drop his knowledge 24/7. His influence becomes more apparent everyday. Then of course there are soul brothers like John Lennon, Sage Francis, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
