I’m pretty self-absorbed. It’s not that I think that I’m better than anyone, it’s just that I am closer to understanding myself than I am to understanding anyone else, and I am most comfortable in my own company. My art is all about me, not because I am narcissistic, but because I am [...]

Three years ago I finished the Suzuki Rock n’ Roll Marathon. This past weekend I finally compiled all of the footage that I’d taken into a little video. I share it out here in cyberspace so that I stay motivated to redeem myself this summer as I attempt to complete a marathon in [...]
