About Me

I'm in this show, so check it out:
It's a scavenger hunt/art show at BlueSpace in the Mission.
Fluxus
Take What art movement do you belong to? today!
Created with Rum and Monkey 's Personality Test Generator . Fluxus - a name taken from a Latin word meaning "to flow" - is an international network of artists, composers and designers noted for blending different artistic media and disciplines in the 1960s. They have been active in visual art and music as well as literature, urban planning, architecture, and design. Fluxus is often described as intermedia, a term coined by Fluxus artist Dick Higgins in a famous 1966 essay.
I started Art for a Democratic Society with Steve in April. We've done Street Salon on the First Friday in June and July. To find out more about the project, go to the Art for a Democratic Society myspace page . I finished my book in January, see below. I'm writing a zombie movie (with Steve). i like spending lots of time pave setting quarters with cubic zirconia and then spending them to get doritos or souvenir family guy cups. i also like making jewelry and sewing. i also like barbecues and board games, especially ones that i can win.
