When not working on my own art I spend a great deal of time out and about looking at other work.

Introducing the Interdimensional Communication Device
On their way in the mail, a new series of objects I call the Interdimensional Communication Device (2”x5” each, mixed media on paper).
This device is all you will need to communicate across time and space. You do not need an account, there is no software, there is not an app, there are no corporations, data collection or asocial media involved. These devices only function when gifted. They can never be bought or sold. Technical support questions can be answered in a dream. The device is the result of blurring the lines between art, spirituality, time and science.
Tofu is a San Francisco artist working primarily in mixed media, collage and landscape painting. His work has included maps, postcard-themed art and mail art projects. In 2013 he began moving away from found ephemera and shifted to making his own material. This started with a series called Collagescapes. With Collagescapes, he starts by painting paper with areas of color representing the palette of a specific place. Next, he cuts up the paper into hundreds of small pieces. The final steps are to randomize the pieces and then reassemble them in various geometric patterns. Collagescapes are both landscape paintings and collages. Tofu’s latest work is a series called Post-Folk Art. It is a nod to the color palettes found in costumes, textiles, pottery and other forms of traditional Kashubian and Polish folk art.
Since 1997 his work has shown in over 40 venues, primarily in California but also in other locations in the United States and abroad. His artwork can be viewed at tofuart.com
