I’ve been showing here since this place opened four or five years ago.

At first it was called Café Santiago, and then it became Capo Verde when they added Tex Mex to the menu.

I did many shows of two or three month’s duration. I often displayed my writings alongside of the art.

If you read the essay Nude, it's about one of my shows here. That essay also explains why I choose to show in neighborhood coffee shops at this time.

They recently installed a bar, and so Monkey Room was born. Now I only have the front section of wall, but that’s okay, as I was running out of work for fresh shows.

I completed these two paintings at the end of 2002.

The writing “Art Terrorist” hangs alongside as the show opens. I’ll change the writing every couple of weeks. The other writings will be: “Jeff Koons”, “The Message”, “The War” and “Sponge Bob” – as these are my most recent essays.
