" As a child I was kidnapped at stick-point by a tribe of renegade pigmies in the south pacific.  For six years I was used as slave labor for the tribe and whipping boy for the more emotionally malcontent pigmies.  I was once served as food but my flesh was found to be unsavory by the tribe so for the remainder of my stay I was used as public transportation.  I was then purchased by one professor Brian Brock Harmon who used me to kill rats on his estate.  Tiring of such work I joined the U.S. submarine service (no shit), then eventually got my bachelors degree at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  I presently live, work, play, and display in Chicago."
