Oh, yeah. I used to live in
Kensington, and started with
a spray can in North Philly. If
you rode the Market-Frankford
“El” in those days, you’d see
my stuff. Lots of it. But it’s
mostly gone now.

“My real goal is highend pinup art on
canvas, still related to
bikes and cars – but
out there, really in the
fantasy category.”
Airbrush is pretty old-school. How has digital
technology influenced the art form?
