The "Amen Break" is a breakbeat from a 1969 recording by the musical act The Winstons. It is one of the most important 6 seconds in modern music. It has been sampled thousands of times and single handedly spawned numerous subcultures within music. While I cannot play music to save my life, the accumulation and redistribution of ideas, images, and color plays a huge part in what I do. I paint mostly in acrylic, and enjoy painting the absurdity in life.
