His current work is a mixture of photography, filmmaking, performance, & interactivity mixed with an ongoing fascination with the human form and its power as an archetype. Naked's 2006 year-long "The Ever-Changing Naked Picture Project" --where viewers gave their own bodies & creativity to acquire those of another, to literally "Become Art to Get Art"-- became a cult event in LA. His ongoing "Naked Slave 4 Art" project is currently creating both controversy & amusement, with ads in magazines & infomercials on the web, along with other media.
Naked currently resides in Los Angeles, California, making his living as a visual media artist through the crafts of: filmmaking, photography, writing, and acting.
