I took several hundred self-portraits with the Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera in 1978. The artists whose work at the time captivated me were Lucas Samaras, Egon Schiele, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. To document my life as a 21-year-old queer art punk, I used the Polaroid, multiple journals and performance. I posed, like any good punk, to put you off and to attract you just the same; its all the same.

These are non-band fliers from 1979. The Deaf Club "Kids of today" reflected my mood in the days before the verdict of involuntary manslaughter for Dan white, who had assassinated the mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone, and a City Supervisor, Harvey Milk, six months before. "Kids of Today" was included, along with several other fliers of mine, in the book, Street Art, the Punk Poster in San Francisco 1977-1981, published by Last Gasp, August 1981.
