I first met Emily Wick in 2002. She was my bandmate Andrew’s coworker. I courted her by leaving Emily™ stickers on her desk. We began collaborating on projects in 2005, and later opened a store-front studio space and art gallery on Telegraph Avenue which we ran for 10 years; we specialized in conceptual photo booths for the community. Emily and I collaborate on assorted projects to this day. We also help each other extensively on each other’s projects. Visit Emily’s website and Instagram page for her latest work.

After the closing our gallery (Smokey’s Tangle), we dove into our independent projects. Emily has taught me much on the art of editing. All of the following projects are things we naturally do.
