Book Two, 1990 - 1994.

This work was produced
 in my studio in Long Beach, California in the years 1990 to 1994.

And, coincides with my foray into graduate studies at Otis College.

Graduate faculty found the work Too.... Direct.
Overall, my experience at the old Otis campus,
MacArthur Park, was sublime.

I produced the images at my studio in Long Beach, California, in 1999.

Symbols...

Build everything... No $$$$...

All I talked about was 

My right to 

My Concept of Beauty...

My Aesthetic...
