It's the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage.

Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.

I don't think of my life as a cliche, but I'm a cliche eccentric. Complete with a strange name - I mean, who's named Val? How many Vals do you know? I mean, really?
