About me:
I draw and design visuals for music labels, design logos, lettering, tagline copy, tooled improvised watercolors, shuffle ASCII ooperloopers, fold and glue "super origamic" characters, low grade site specific sculptures, licking beaters, build instruments and play them, channeling in English and Japanese, teaching typography, finding rare OOP soundtracks, collecting fortune cookie messages. (if you got any crazy ones send a small jpeg file or just the text to fortunes@kiogriffith.com). thanks!

I'm currently working on a series of screen prints.
Some of my work can be seen by clicking on the "pics" link by the profile.

Hey! If you're not interested in paying $20 for drinks and standing in line to have a good time, you should come to our white party tonight...and if you don't have anything white to wear, just buy some bleach.

Yes, the activity at Schindler House will consist of several players and it's called exquisite corpse but I think of it more as tag team wrestling.
