I make small, anonymous and slightly magical packages which are gifted across the world. My belief is a return to what I feel has been lost in art - surprize, chance, enchantment - and a desire to replace commodity with interactivity and community. I worked in the gallery and museum system for decades and discovered that good collectors love and cherish their artworks no matter their price (or no price) and the story of the work and acquiring the works is more interesting than any resale value.
I (and my surrogates) have released over 8,000 of these gifts so far in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Greenland, Italy, Cambodia, Turkey, Mexico, Australia, Cuba, Belize, Greenland, Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, and many more places.
If you find one of my gifts Tell Me with the Instagram or email links below. Found more? Leave it, re-gift or take it somewhere fun and instagram when you do. So many interesting folks have taken my gifts home and on adventures and have told me about it. Thanks!
I have also recently returned to a favorite media - collage. All the images are from my personal experiences and 98% of the photographs are my own. I print them out by laser print, cyanotype, and van dyke brown. Then I add mono-prints, photographs, various papers, painting, pencil, thread, and found objects.
I'm also a teacher. My favorite class is "The Art History of Graffiti and Street Art,” but I also teach Art Survey , turning those afraid of art into fans.
