The Rubber Biskit Road Show: With The GYPSY
Like a Rubber Biskit I have spent my life bouncing from here to there and back to here again. I have created, guided and been the inspiration for many people, projects and events. I cannot sit still and must be constantly doing something, going somewhere and being involved. Writing, Art, Tattooing, Photography, Video and my Podcast affords me an opportunity to release the madness that transpires within my mind.
