Statement

I am a self-taught artist and writer working in Chicago and various points in cyberspace. (Does anyone say "cyberspace" anymore, or has it been replaced by "blogosphere?") My art is in private collections in London, Berlin, Mumbai, a small town in Romania, New York, Chicago, Seattle, and various other cities, villages, and townships throughout the U.S., so I'm pretty special, which is not to be read as anything other than sarcasm. I wrote monthly features (and did some editing) for the New Orleans-based national art magazine Art Voices before they folded (which had nothing to do with me, of course), and contribute regularly (and sometimes less than regularly) to the publications listed below, newest among them: art21.org, for which there are links in the event that you have any interest in reading further. I will not, however, assume that you do.   

Some selected pieces from various places I've been published:

art21.org :

Connecting, Part 1 - Art as transportation

Connecting, Part 2 - Useful junk

Connecting, Part 3 - Ceci n’est pas une Twinkie

Connecting, Part 4 - All spin of one kind or another

Connecting, Part 5 - Effortless

Connecting, Part 6 - Postscript and postmortem
