To this point in his life, he's been editor of a music magazine, directed a television show, been the music director at a radio station, started a clothing company, toured the country with a band, been threatened by the estate of Louis Prima, had his artwork in galleries and museums, been interviewed on Canadian radio about his views on the Smurfs, garnered a cult following for a robot-fronted band he performs in, taught college classes, been taught as the subject of college classes, read his fiction with a poet laureate, been the department head of toys at a drug store, and designed a car for Chrysler. In the future, he would like to add to that list.
