| Location | Toronto, Ohio, United States |
| Introduction | Background: Former commercial artist, newspaper photographer, journeyman lithographer who could no longer hold down a job due to the disabling symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Two denials for Social Security Disability benefits resulted in homelessness in Cleveland, Ohio. Awarded Social Security Disability benefits in 2007, I used my back benefits rightfully owed to me and purchased my first home in my hometown of Toronto, Ohio. For two years I served on the Board of Trustees of NEOCH - the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless in Cleveland, Ohio where I still remain as a supporting member. I also served on the Patient Advisory Board for Care Alliance - a health care clinic in Cleveland that provides free and low cost health care to the homeless and impoverished of Greater Cleveland. |

What kind of tape is best for creating a sculpture?
Duct Tape of course! It's like the cockroach-duct tape is indestructible and will probably survive nuclear holocaust. I think it was probably back-engineered from alien technology.
