Jenn.
I took two classes with her in 2005 and we have been best friends ever since. We collaborated and created The Green Kewpie. We are also the creators of Wawoo dolls. She is like my clone, except she's more outgoing. Visit her and Vance's website geek woo for hints and tips for the game of life! They are the coolest people ever.

During 2005, I was looking for experimental music and happen to discover this musically inclined individual. I am really happy that I know him because his music makes me happy and not only that he remixed my song Travelling through The Galaxy, and plays it at his shows. I feel super honored and I plan to become as talented as him someday.

I met him through my sister. He helped me shoot my documentary called Master Model Builders at Legoland and let me borrow his awesome 8 megapixel camera. He's super nice and also really into art which is awesome!

This is stray. I don't really remember how I met him, but I do know he's an incredible artist and extremely funny. His experimental stuff is really interesting and I think it's amazing. Also when I bought his CD he named one of his songs after me, which was really sweet.

The Its!
They are one of my favorite Indie band. I made a psychadellic style portrait of them out of sharpies once in 2004. I really liked it but I decided to send it to them. When I did they sent me stickers and cds, which made me basically one of the happiest people on this planet.

Firebrand_boy

He is one of my favorite electronica/rock/pop artist. I really like his cover of Such Great Heights so I asked permission to use it in my documentary, Master Model Builders. He was generous enough to say yes. Such a nice person. Everyone should listen to his music. It will make you happy when you're sad. Well at least that's what his music does to me.

Jorges

I'm in the process of collaborating with him using his music and my media art skills. Jorges is an awesome artistic individual. Many of his artworks inspire me to become a bettter artist. I will be updating this more when the projects are done.

Pink Dead Whale

Their songs make me day dream about ninja fights on roof tops. I am planning to make a Pink Dead Whale plush toy sometime soon and perhaps make some kind of picture collage of how their songs make me feel. (I hope to do it by end of 2007?). Oh! Something that is also wonderful about this band is that I somehow inspired them to name one of their songs called "Lady Labu." Pink Dead Whale are a sweet Labu Labu band.

Gettingupeverymorning

Gettingupeverymorning makes one song every night. He made a song for my birthday by manipulating the texts of a journal entry of mine. I used the same song in a video called "Hitorigoto". In a sense, he took his time to collaborate with me. For that I appreciate his time and effort.

Ken Tanaka

A fictional character that exists within the youtube community. I collaborated with him to create "How to speak fluent Japanese without saying a word". We plan on collaborating more in the future.
