b. Hancock, Michigan, USA

I am a surrealist painter (in gouache including gouache on papyrus, rubber and sandpaper; acrylic; oil and red wine stain remover); photographer (including Polaroids and those taken in a photo booth); cartoonist and maker of chocolate coulages; cubomanias; drawings with pen (including antimicrobial counter pen, ballpoint pen, counterfeit pen, four-color pen, invisible ink pen, non-permanent marker and dry erase marker, permanent marker, Rainbow Magic pen and yes-know pen) on (among other surfaces) Crayola Color Wonder paper, paper with staples, Tyvek and the playing surface of compact discs (and I have combined drawing and photocopying); fumages; stencils; and breath spray and chewing gum works. I have used whiteboard and FIMO. I have employed such surrealist methods as grattage and parsemage and my surrealist object "The Blue Fetish", is made of a PVC trap painted with gouache inside which is a chocolate-coated espresso bean and decaffeinated coffee bean. I have made two films, The Dead Man and The Erotic Life of the Eskimo, a watch in honour of An Jung-geun (published by Idealist Press International, Ltd.), and a computer desktop design.

Two of my articles, "Are You Crazy?: Mental Illness and Whiteness" and "Seattle 1999 - Just the Beginning," and one of my drawings, "The Breakfast Club," were published in Surrealist Subversions, edited and introduced by Ron Sakolsky. I was a contributor to the Treatise of Pataphysical Anatomy, published by SpiderWeb Productions. I am the author of The Tailgating Spinster (published in 2003 by Fiji Island Mermaid Press). I designed the back cover for Psycho magazine and the cover for the e-book Chapter 1 of the Anemone Sidecar (published by Ravenna Press), and you can see my digital book Me: An Autobiography at the Fiji Island Mermaid Press website.

I have also been active in mail art. Since 2002 I have served as the Chief Executive Officer of the International Union of Mail Artists.

My bookplate was exhibited at the Ex Libris exhibit at the HUB Gallery in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

When I attended Colorado College I worked on the Catalyst and wrote a review of an exhibit by Alexandra Nechita. I also designed a poster for the screening of L'Age d'Or there.

I received a BA from Curry College, where I took a class in Digital Imaging: Photoshop (AC 2738), two of the computer graphics I made in partial fulfillment of the requirements of which were The Scalpeles History White-clothed Like a Dove and with Three Owls. I was a participant in the Hexa Web Net Project, part of the 2nd Biennial of Media Art, Media City, Seoul, Korea.

In 1997 I curated the "Surrealism: Books, Objects, Posters and Pamphlets from Four Continents" exhibit at the East Library and Information Center in Colorado Springs. In 2003 I signed a petition protesting the pending sale of the contents of Andre Breton's studio at 42 rue Fontaine in Paris.

I have signed collective surrealist statements including "For Tyree Guyton" and "POETRY MATTERS!: On the Media Persecution of Amiri Baraka."

I contributed a drawing to the Picasso e-book, commemorating the 120th anniversary of the birth of Pablo Picasso in 2001.

It was at my suggestion that Blue Feathers SE2, a special edition on the events of September 11, 2001 was published.
