What have you been up to since speaking at the NYC Semi-Permanent?
Things have been very, very busy.  I met a lot of really great people at NYC Semi-Permanent, several of whom I'm still in touch with and actually several people who have since hired me on numerous occasions.  About a year after I spoke in NY, I released a book of my work for sale, opened an online store where I have many prints and t-shirts available, I've had some really great new jobs and clients, and have spoken at dozens of colleges, events, and universities since then.  I still tell people about my first experience speaking at Semi Permanent, how nervous I was but how amazing everybody was to meet and how great of an experience I had... To date it was the biggest audience I've ever spoken to and it was the first time I ever spoke in public...it was a great way to get 'broken in' to being in front of a crowd.

Where are you based out of now?
I'm currently in Tinley Park, a south suburb of Chicago.

Any cool upcoming projects?
I work frequently with Reebok and I'm in the middle of a cool project with them at the moment.  I am planning on working on a 2nd book in the coming months as well as a gallery show in conjunction with the Mountain Dew bottle I did artwork for (see www.nopattern.com for more info on that project)

What did you eat for dinner last night?
Delicious baja steak chalupas (no lettuce or tomato) from Taco Bell.  They were fantastic.
