Here is Autonomedia's website.
Founding member of "legendary" writing group, The
Unbearable Beatniks of Light ("Unbearables").
He has written for many magazines, journals and zines. He has
written about art, politics, music, culture, while holding down
oddjobs (or is it that those oddjobs held him?) such as foot messenger
in Manhattan, forest management in the heart of Southern France,
foundryworker in Flint, MI, proofreading in Amsterdam, streetsweeper
in Ann Arbor, once hung blinds for Max Ernst's daughter-in-law, and
painted tractor and automobile tires for auto shows (call it
automotive makeup art?). This certainly became the most surreal and
absurd job when I had to be on hands and knees on the Champs Elysees
painting big tractor tires black before a crowd of thousands and with
the entire Champs' length planted with wheat!!! And through it all
writing has been there to taunt, mock and tease him.
