WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN YOUR SPACE?
Jars of preserved and tattooed chicken feet. I’ll just leave it at that…

DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL WORKSPACE IN THREE WORDS.
Open, lit and organized.

DOES THE SPACE YOU WORK IN HAVE AN INTERESTING STORY?
It is the old Hamms Brewery storehouse from the 30s and 40s, old SF industry, with the biggest neon sign west of Chicago, until Vegas came along. Nobody knows what happened to that sign.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF IN THE SPACE?
The fact that I create neon signs in it in conjunction with the history of the space and the story of its own lost neon sign. It’s a cool neon urban myth, and I make neon there. Seems sort of fated.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
Surprisingly busy these days. I’m sort of nervous about that, because we are an artist run warehouse in a rapidly changing area. It used to be tent city by my studio; there was never any traffic… Now, it’s all backed up on Bryant St. with people heading towards the freeway to get home and even people walking! It’s changed more in the last year than in the last fifteen combined, which is how long I’ve been here. The only thing keeping us is a moratorium on preventing the building’s demolition, for historical protection.

FAVOURITE SONG/BAND WHILE WORKING?
Pixies is the favorite, always.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN AND FROM WHOM?
Behave as if everything in the room is hot.
