Ragged

front view of black spike breaking through wall
Riding my bike around San Diego I realized just how many cars on the road contain only one person, so I coined the phrase "Driving the world ragged...one by one." Although the end result is not much related to the initial idea, the phrase was a stepping stone along the way to creating this piece. This piece was in a student show titled Umptious Fridays in the Flor y Canto Gallery at San Diego State University from November 14-19, 2009.

Got Money

non-permanent graffiti installation at SDSU
The SDSU art department was getting its funding cut. I put this piece up overnight and when I returned to school the next day I got wind that they did not like the huge billboard hanging over the stairs. It successfully weathered out a rainstorm during the couple days it was up.
