I could never have imagined what I would find.

In the Spring of 2011, after years of hiring him to build miniature sets for my films I asked Mike Sullivan for his help on an art project – A doll-sized protest kit. During the process I got a peek into his world and discovered that it was anything but miniature.

What I found was a man dedicated, overwhelmed, slightly lost and happy to share it with honesty and a little humor.

I also found thousands of Robots with wieners.

This is a character exploration, a documentary, a Henry Darger-esque allegory set in one studio apartment on 27^th street in New York City.

This month I am especially pleased to present the soundtrack to the second half of your summer. A selection of tracks, from Gospel to Garage Punk, curated by rare book dealer, Arthur Fournier.

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to hear him DJ, then you know how awesome his retro-eclectic madness is, and if you haven’t, well, then prepare to pop your first ear boner. Download it here.

They asked me to direct a film for the installation to commemorate the seminal documentary Style Wars. And so “Style Wars The Musical” was born. Todd & Steve have the best fucking ideas… and the music that was created is OUT OF CONTROL.

Here’s a time-lapse of the shoot. If you want to see the film then head over to MOCA and get schooled.

Attention all rip-off artists. I just finished an edition of Burglary kits for the nice folks over at Partners & Spade. The kits go for $200 dollars but they are free if stolen.
