Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art. ~Andy Warhol

About Me


Don't believe the hype! People unaware of the likeness of this amazing town are limited to the "game-of-telephone" rumors spread about Los Angeles.
The fact is - LA is breeding ground to some of the most original people one could ever meet.
Unique characters, who aren't afraid to put their inherent "strangeness" on display. These attributes come forth in the most thought provoking mediums.
Dance. Music. Poetry. Art. Fashion.
It's everywhere - It's on the wall on your corner, it's in your local coffee shop, it's in your best friend's living room. But you have to keep your eyes open, and you have to dig a little deeper.
L.A. has produced beautiful art without boasting pretentiousness, or arrogance; not everyone can sell a piece for half million dollars - but we do it anyway. Because we have too. Because it's our duty to create; to interpret the world around us for those who walk through life with their sensors off. Maybe its the ocean air that keeps us constantly inspired. Perhaps it's the sunset on Sunset that keeps us from falling prey to the inevitable boredom and disinterest that plagues our nation. American culture has been sucked up and spit out by the unrelenting opinion-creating media and unabashed patriotism. Whereas, anything less than patriotism theatens treason...
How are we as a people to evolve in unchanging environment? In Los Angeles, the counter-culture is alive and well, and it demands to be heard. There is an awareness here. Lets grab it by the balls, and make it talk. Lets give it a platform from which it is able to raise its fists and fight for evolution in music, in art, and in our culture as we know it.

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

Painters. Musicians. Writers. Poets. Geniuses. Comedians. Propagandist. Provocateurs. Radicals. Revolutionaries. Progressive thinkers and the like...
