The Questions
What do you do?
I write for Beyond Robson, I'm in a band called Kidnapping, I take tons of photos.
What neighborhood do you live in?
I live in Gastown. It is nuts. Tourists vs. hipsters vs. dumpster divers.
What are you working on?
I have a show coming up at Hotel (formerly Plank Gallery). Its my first solo show in 4 years. I printed some books from Blurb.
Where can we find your work?
