YOUR QUESTION

Hey Trevor,
Stumbling across your work has been one of the better things to come out of quarantine (here in Melbourne, Australia we currently can't go more than 5km from home. Strange times.).
Art and music are pretty heavily entwined for me, and your current cassette project got me curious - with regards to the collages, is visual art something you've explored much of? They're fantastic and it would be exciting to see more if that's ever an avenue you might go down.
Stay safe and stay sane (as best you can, I suppose). I'll be keen to see Mr Bungle perform online later this month.

MY ANSWER

Visual art and writing are two things I’ve actually been doing longer than music. I used to draw quite a bit, took a couple of art classes, etc. I did do some early collage stuff a youngster but didn’t really start exploring it deeper until I was in my 30s. Now that I’ve sort of lost any drawing technique I find collage to be very liberating and also it doesn’t bear the pressure that music holds for me being a studied musician. I have been taking commissions for larger collages (approximately 8x11) although haven’t had the time to advertise this side hustle. I love making them, but they are time consuming. There will definitely be more!
