About Me

My photo
Vancouver, BC, Canada
I am a multi media artist who has spent a large portion of my life prooving to myself that not only am I an organic artist with lots of talent in drawing, photography, water colours, poetry, performance art and film/video - I can do the design, maintenance and operational sustainability of high level administrative infrastructure. I have done so by working successfully in the Rat Race although that euphemism may be an insult to rats who probably do not lie and cheat and posture as much. Who knows. In any case, I am now half a century old in human years. I am one eglegteram in Mars Alien time measurement - which is apparently a good time to make a change. And that, my dear Blog followers is what I am gratefully and happily doing here! THANK YOU for reading, you know who you are!

Sniffy the Rat - CBC Archive Footage

Yes, that is me with the green vest, the backwards baseball cap and red braid, all twenty nine years of me, shouting "Where's the cops???" protecting Rick Gibson from the angry mob back in 1990.  It was a performance art piece that I curated through the Pit Gallery (Unit 36 Society, not to be confused with others of same name today and then).  We got international front page in most major urban centres around the world that day and alot of newspaper coverage of the event.  I was quoted in the Globe and Mail at length and my favourite part of that was "You say there is no difference between Noriega slaughtering civilians In Panama, and the little boy down the well in Texas in terms of media coverage?  Well I say there is a major f***ing difference..."


etcetera
