Anosmia – A Video About Not Being Able To…

I Can’t Smell

Back When Renders Took Forever and a Day

I Used to Draw

But not all that much

I don’t think there was ever any doubt that my life was going to have something to do with art. But I also tell people that I never really liked drawing. I preferred Legos and building bow-and-arrow bows out of stink weed (I couldn’t smell it and didn’t think about the name). But I did in fact, on occasion, put pen or pencil to paper and make some art. Sometimes I still do. But not that much, really.

Alternative Spring Break

Cleaning up New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina

In 2006 instead of partying I decided to participate in VCU’s Alternative Spring Break program. A group of about 20 of us from Richmond spent one week in New Orleans helping a volunteer group that stepped in to help clean up the Ninth Ward after it was ravished by Hurricane Katrina. I brought my mini DV camcorder with me and attempted to capture the experience.

I Used to Make Pants

I Used to Make My Own Pants

I'm a creative cheapskate

I was really into skateboarding growing up, and I really wanted to buy a pair of JNCO jeans. But as a 12-year old in a lower-middle-class household, spending $70 on pants was not an option. But denim was only $3.50 a yard at the fabric store.
