About Me

I'm a graphic artist, poet, dreamer, craftsman, artisan, thinker, friend and digital nomad. The nomad part always takes a bit of explaining. Life happens on the edge, in the shadow cities and digital outskirts of the planet. That's where the intellectuals, revolutionaries, radicals, cognitive dissonants, artists and indies hang out, and it's my permanent address. I'm a borderhacker, Mexicali and the border region of Baja California are like a second home to me. Like all nomads, I am deeply tribal. I am blessed with a tribe of close friends who are also artists, they know basically everything about me that matters and still love me, and I listen to them. Martin Luther King said the future is in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. That's me and my tribe.

What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding in a gingerbread house?
