Primarily my time spent here in SF has been devoted to job-searching, which has to some degree diminished my art and music time. But not entirely. After having a really wonderful conversation with Cara Vida, a collage artist/former commercial artist, and showing her a series of collages I did in 2009, I got inspried to start picking up the art stuff again. When moving down from Eugene, I couldn't bring my art stuff, just a small pile of raw materials. But the room I'm renting came with a bunch of art stuff already in it, and I've been given permission to use some of it.
So, as a relaxing activity, I've been queuing up a lot of the music I've gathered but never quite listened to and starting getting back into the collage again. here are some photos of things I've been doing.

| Frames made from card stock and painted paper. The art to go in these will been happening sooner or later. |

| People in San Francisco are somewhat unfriendly at first, and often seem annoyed and irritated. This is a portrait of no specific person, but a sort of composite of people I encountered. |

| SF may be a big destination of gays, but that doesn't mean that they are free from gay stereotypes. I don't fit into those set models, so i used collage to express my feelings abut the worth of my individuality. |

| I use hell money a lot in my PB stuff, many times encouraging people to buy my merch with it when they are strapped for cash but want a new piece. The hell money you can get down here is really fabulous. |
