Falling Out All Over
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

International No Diet Day Shenanigans
Over the years I have attempted to do something to bring more public awareness to the concept that dieting is not only useless, but a waste of money and should be stopped at all costs. From subtle interventions like paying for things with money I have stamped that say “this currency should not be used to buy diet products” to chalk graffiti outside of diet centers. Nothing off limits. You can see some documentation of my annual shenanigans in the gallery below.
