I first met Emily Wick in 2002. She was my high school buddy Andrew’s coworker. I courted her by leaving Emily™ stickers on her desk at work. 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, subscribe to her Have You Seen This Phenomenon? on Substack.

After the closing our studio space and gallery Smokey’s Tangle [website], we dove more fully into our independent projects. Scroll below to view some of our collaborative efforts over the past 20 years.
