Resource Magazine backstory . . .

A photo of me in my studio is currently on page 102 and 103 of the spring issue of Resource magazine. Clearly by the hair cut and the unfinished works the photo was taken a few months back. (should I have kept my longer hair????? personally I'm torn. please let me know what you think)

I recall the night the photographer Young Kyu Park came over to my studio. I just returned from a long day of work and I totally forgot he was coming over. I was exhausted, starving, and in no mood to have my photo taken. Because of Kyu's playful attitude I cheered up, pulled out a toy gun, snakes, and a smile. The photo itself is shot beautifully but if you examine the materials around me closely it's a clear indication of the works I am currently making and of things to come. Also, some clearly stolen items are visible. (HUGE MISTAKE) I should have taken a moment to hide things better or "clean up". Lessons learned for the next time someone with a crazy expensive camera is over at my studio.

Below is the photo from the magazine and a digital copy the photographer emailed me. Personally I love the humor the image captures. It's very sci-fi-80's bad boy-Miami Vice-cheesy pic. I love it. I love strange picture of myself.
Enjoy.
