About Me

It's hard to make your living as an unemployed artist. Hard to eat. Hard to keep yourself in electricity and hot showers. Hard to pay the rent. It's even harder when your roommate decides to solve all your money problems by committing a disgusting, morally bankrupt crime. WHAT REMAINS is one unemployed artist's account of his unwilling transformation from young idealistic bohemian to reprehensible criminal lowlife. Inside is everything you ever wanted to know about art, self-inflicted poverty, and two guys who just wanted to pay the rent.
