I am a writer and artist living La Dolce Vita in San Francisco but without the skinny ties. My writing consists of novels in what I call the postmodern vein with influences like Joyce, Kafka, Paul Bowles, W.S. Burroughs, Neal Stephenson, and David Foster Wallace. Other fave authors and thinkers are Sartre, Beauvoir, Proust, and Heideggar. My first novel, Blue, is available on Amazon or from the publisher. My second novel (in progress) is called Daydream Nation.
It involves nanotechnology, virtual reality, drugs, suicide, ecoterrorism, genetics, eugenics, as well as meditations on art, writing, culture, and sex. Lots of sex. Did I mention sex? That there is lots of it?

My art deals with language in terms of it's avoidance, in addition to referencing my fascination with movements such as dada, surrealism, abstract expressionism, pop art, and Duchamp (he is a movement, isn't he?). I make what interests me using found objects, paint, hardware store materials, and photography. I am interested in process/product and their deconstructed manifestations.

I am interested in internet technology to an extent but am somewhat judicious read skeptical. I have been in and out of computers since the TRS-80 in jr high and through Pascal and into the net through Pine and Lynx in 1995. I have done a bit of web design and to quote Mr. Horse "No sir, I don't like it". So I am stuck being a novelist and artist. I do like the concept here and I have a tattoo of a squid so I am all for squids in popular culture.
