He's one of the strangest people. It takes awhile to get that he's just fucking with you in good humor. But man is he a good artist.

I had left my car downtown overnight and probably forgot to lock the doors. When I came back the next day I found it with the seats leaned way back and a disposable camera with a lawyer’s business card rubber banded to it sitting on the passenger seat. I almost tossed the camera, but thought it might provide amusement someday so I left it on a shelf in my studio and forgot about it for a couple of years until I ran into Mark. I am glad that he was able to put it to such good use!
