I was lucky to have talented writer and artist Narciso Espiritu write about my 2013 solo show "17 Year Cicada" for Bust Magazine.

The Jersey City Independent was Jersey City's best news, arts, and culture publication. I was a gigantic fan of them.
Every solo show I have had in Jersey City has been covered by The JCI and for that I am both proud and grateful.

In 2011, My big solo show of the year was a Masking Tape tribute to my favorite band, The Pixies. I was thrilled and extremely grateful that Erina Davidson wrote about this show for Bust Magazine.

Brendan Caroll is a big deal in the Jersey City arts scene. When I was contacted by him for an interview about my Pixies Tribute show titles "Caribou", I was both excited and nervous. It was my first real and deeply intense interview by another artist. One whom I have much respect for as well. It turns out, Sean Rayburn, who works for the Pixies, had a google alert set up for the phrase "Pixies Tribute". When Brendan's interview ran, he was notified. The morning of the show, I received an email from Sean congratulating me on the show and letting me know he had passed the article onto the band, and invited me to come to an upcoming concert and meet the band. Since this happened a few years ago, Black Francis has become a fan of my work and even came to my home to visit my art studio to talk about art. It all came from this interview with Brendan Caroll, and I am forever grateful.

Just for fun, I thought I would include an article that was published in The Jersey City Independent about the time my cat Harold appeared on The Animal Planet's show "Bad Dog". Melissa Surach, a talented comedian and writer, came to our home to do a humorous one on one interview with Harold about his experience in front of a television camera.
