Crime: this category of my blog includes articles and videos about Crime Against Nature, the book and the series which reveal all the many ways girls and boys can be naturally.

Process work / Le travail du processus

There are times when I have to make art in order to be able to make other art.  Parfois, je crée une œuvre afin de faire d’autres œuvres.
