(PEACE) WORDS
This is the most autobiographical book i have written thus far. It is a "portrait of the artist as a young vandal" complete with confessions of illegal international activities. It is also a moving story of finding one's artistic self in the world despite current trends and styles. The backdrop of the narrative is the peace, human rights, and ecology movements and it is a beautiful primer on the work of peace, protest, and public art. It is even more important and powerful during this time of lingering war.
Karma yoga is selfless and benevolent activity ~ from personal acts of kindness, generosity, and hospitality to charity and activism in the world. This book documents a search for self through the personal journey of art and activism, graffiti and rebellion. (PEACE) WORDS is a highly engaging and motivational read.

Soundtracks for Film
Two voice plays about the art of communication and relationships. This book is to language what Philip Glass is to music. It is a lovely and startling epiphany! Just as you cannot see the forest for the trees, it is difficult to understand a relationship while you are in it ~ including the relationship with yourself. This book is designed to be read aloud ~ especially with a partner or small group ~ to release revelations about yourself and the dynamics of your relationships with others. It is an important tool for self-awareness and spiritual development.

nevertheless art
This book is more than a Zen commentary on modern art and the New York art scene... It is itself the art. This is not essay, not poetry, not documentation. This is art. Both Buddhism and Sufism have a technique for revealing truth/essence/reality by denying that which is not essential. This poem is a poignant expose of the contemporary art scene which cuts away the superficial aspects of art to reveal its truth, its essence. It becomes one of the most eloquent definitions of art itself. A great gift for any artist, student, or seeker of reality.
