What are you wearing? The hides of a thousand otters encompass my rumpus. On top I wear a shiny chain-mail bikini bottom that reflects the shiny, shiny gleam of my faceplate, which in turn mirrors the dull green glower of your jealous, jealous puss. Do you likee it?
J Penry was a fellow Greenpoint when we lived there. Easily recognizable from his almost-fro and killer stash, his work was great inspiration for us. He even gave us an interview.

I make posters, fabric patterns, scarves, bags, and t-shirts. It’s all available at www.humans.jp It’s my attempt to make art that is not expensive or difficult to access, art that is part of everyday life. I have tried to reduce all my graphic work to this project over the last few years, I’m excited about it, and there’s much to do with it in the future.
