The artwork I created for Ohio City Burrito in exchange for lunch during my stay in Cleveland during my #DoTour of America.

Ohio City Burrito jumped in on the ArtAsCurrency game and traded me two burritos, chips and dip for an artwork based on their 'Day of the Dead' branding. Let the 'Do Tour' continue...

I freestyled a poem for Eleanor and she said she felt glowing. She said it was a timely arrival as she has just decided to get back into music. Therefore as part of our trade I will collaborate on her first musical creation. Looking fwd to what we create together...

I received two hearty soups, bread, a salad and a cookie in exchange for a branded poster. Thank you Souper Market for keeping me fed and able to continue creating on my DoTour of America!

Each "No" is a paddle, batting you towards the intended "Yes". I have found this over and over again in surrendering to the game of finding the flow. I followed the trail of "No"s, "Maybe"s and general tips and suggestions straight into the lives of Andrew and Jennie. It only took a few minutes and a handful of scattered dreamseeds and we were testing out my TigerPress exercise technique in their enchanting boutique fashion / art store, (http://www.rscleveland.com/the-space/). Hands frequently raised in the air, as though each voiced hope and agreement was an achievement in itself. I love these two instantaneously. We agree that in exchange for a week of telling stories together they will fly me to Los Angeles! I will add poetry to their lives, new ideas to their business, more dreams to their already swollen pillowheads and a few shovels of manure to their garden. All is perfect. On we dance...

I am currently traveling across America, employing Art as my currency. I am a writer, digital artist, communication designer, creative consultant, workshop facilitator, youth leader, educator, performance philosopher, life enthusiast, event manager and experience curator. All this to say I am a 'Cognitonaut'; an explorer of ideas. My current art adventure is being documented via www.spacemaninwonderland.com and for all other work please see www.bravochild.com. I am wanting to exchange a series of workshops with myself and Australian songstress ALPHAMAMA, for a plane or train ticket from New York to Los Angeles, (or any other means of transport you are able to arrange). I am currently hitch hiking westward, but will make my way to a pick up point. Please contact me via email: bravochild@bravochild or phone [phone]. We can create something wonderful, please help make this possible?
