Many of these exhibitions and performances have originated as part of the Galería de la Raza's ReGeneration. His work has been included and referenced in several important publications including Art Week Magazine, SF Bay Guardian, SF Chronicle and the SF Examiner, the SF Weekly, the book “Hollow City”, and a new publication house Verso. He has worked on two public access television shows and has been in several short films.
