A mixed-up media artist, musician and art school advisor; award-skipping director of The Lacan Hour , Queen of Disks , and the Hippy in a Hellbasket . 'Legally' insane ten times over and a friend of all freaks (and Bill).

"The normal man can follow the general trend without injury to himself; but the man who takes to the backstreets and alleys because he cannot endure the broad highway will be the first to discover the psychic elements that are waiting to play their part in the life of the collective. Here the artist's relative lack of adaptation turns out to his advantage; it enables him to follow his own yearnings far from the beaten path and to discover what it is that would meet the unconscious needs of his age.
