instantly recognizable to Angelenos.

It started with Legos and Lincoln logs.

As far back as I can recall I have wanted to create.

 As a teen I subverted mainstream cultures and mentalities.

That is when I created THRASHBIRD.  I like expression where there are grey walls.

That is why I like to do street art.

As I get older the inspiration for my work is changing.

I am intrigued by taboo subjects in American life,

like sexuality and violence.

My art is a question to the people.

I am always questioning myself.

I want to know if you are too.
