An early participant in the CBGB's scene I was a founding member of the staff of the New York Rocker and more recently a founding editor and art director of the Los Angeles Review of Books. My work as a journalist, photographer and artist has appeared in Mojo, Uncut, The Pitchfork Review, The Los Angeles Times, L.A.Weekly, Fortean Times and Journal of Popular Music Studies. My fiction has appeared in Bomb and has been anthologized in Eclectica: Best Fiction Volume 1. I am a recipient of Print Magazine Award for Design Excellence for my collage work and in 2008, I co-produced and curated Los Angeles Loteria; An Exploration of Identity, an edition of prints in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Aardvark Letterpress helping to establish Aardvark as a leading fine art letterpress. In between, I've appeared on, off and off-off Broadway and in numerous films and television shows.

For fun, I anthologize Chickens in Literature
