LA WEEKLY -- I worked five years in a steel mill after high school. Moved to San Francisco to study Marketing and studio arts at SF State. I eventually dropped out to go into the billboard business in 1986. In my lens billboards are magnificent works of public sculpture, glorious with steel, wood, paint, lights and commerce. In the end my art school was born from a life immersed in the early loft culture of SF, Oakland the DTLA Arts District before it was officially named as such. Two mentors challenged the purpose of my work and helped me respect the walls — performance artist Skip Arnold and painter Richard Godfrey.
