His bio....

I didn't fit in well at school. I still don't. I had a few friends. We thought all the popular people were idiots. We still do. College was better. I wanted to study art but that wasn't a real job so I studied architecture instead. I did just fine until the math got over my head. They say it's a brain thing.

The Hippie movement was right on, Hell no I didn't go! When I told them about the bomb under my bed they shouted at me and made me leave. I pretended that it hurt my feelings, but it didn't. I actually liked it.

Finally I made it to art school. At last I was with people some what like me, I could do my work and the parties were awesome. Probably the most important influence on me were the Chicano artists that I hung out with, (they are famous guys now). I lived with two of them in Echo Park. We used to draw like Banshees late into the night. (Banshees are Irish Mr. Deaths). My advisors at school liked my work, but they said I was an eccentric artist and I was on my own, but that was OK. Everything was OK then. It was beautiful man. It still is, if you don't watch the news.

I met my lovely wife in art school too. She is from Guam. She likes to draw children, cook, play the piano and speak foreign languages. I'm not sure why she tolerates me. We have a son and daughter. A lawyer and a nurse. A reaction I guess. We live on the Central Coast of California. A little bit out of town in a house that we built years ago. I wanted to live in town but the townspeople wouldn't have me. It's very beautiful here. I keep telling myself that. We are lucky if you consider the possibilities. I keep telling myself that too.

I thought this thread deserved a bump as it was swallowed up pretty quickly last time.

I'm looking at the website now and his work really is awesome! Also some of it is very relevant to this forum..
