Jackson Pollock, who instigated American abstract expressionism along with Ginsburg and Kerouac, through the written word, fed 'a need to know'.During the 1950’s and 60’s I was fortunate enough to be involved in the early mix of American counter cultures of surf art, chopper and Hot Rod fabrication and illustrating underground comics.I count Ed Roth as an inspiration, Von Dutch as mentor and Rick Griffin as a friend."
