AJ currently has a show at San Francisco’s White Wall’s titled ‘Aliens In Our Midst’ and Fecal Face caught up with him to catch a really nice interview. I particularly enjoyed what he had to say about working digitally in a medium that he traditionally uses wood, paint, and nails.

I really made a point of ditching the computer all together and focused on doing everything by hand and my current work partially grew out of that struggle or opposition to working digitally. Recently I have started using the computer again but my approach to using it now is almost a complete 180 from what it was. The computer in my shop now functions as little more than another power tool for me. It’s really just another tool in the shop to manipulate the medium I work in instead of being the medium.
