Nostalgia

Highlights from some of my history:

MEXICO CITY

SAN FRANCISCO

I used to run the drawing sessions at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco:

• During that time I also had a studio in the Grant Building

SFNet was active almost the exact time I was living in San Francisco, 1991 - 1998.  It wove the bohemian coffee houses together through computer terminals, before the Internet was available commercially:

SRL (Survival Research Labs) made art by blowing up stuff. I had the privilege of watching them blow up stuff underneath the Bay Bridge in 1995:
