★ Curren$y Projects ★

Rrrrrrent! is a presentation of 3 years worth of my rent cash that I drew on, painted and defaced. I paid Rrrrrent with this debauched art cash to my art studio-mate who deposited it into the bank, somehow, for years. He loved it and thought it was hilarious. Until… He was finally caught and reprimanded by the bank who said they had been looking for him for over a year. They warned to him to cease and desist offensively defacing money or they’d close down his account and possible criminal charges. He was pissed at me after that.

Rrrrrrent is Maximedia: Ca$h, Markers, Paint and Ire. 2.5×6 2020

I no longer draw on or deface money.
Now I sculpt ca$h in a new series called Curren$y!

Curren$y Money Sculptures

Rrrent

Curren$y Ca$h $$$culptures whimsically emanate entropical fantasies of decay of avarice. Squashing faces, coaxing peculiar expressions, shapes and space. Breathing some light into our dead, poorly designed, archaic money. Reinventing the Real!
