TOM RUBNITZ, video artist and painter extraordinaire, arrived in New York in 1978 and immediately began painting the town. He became the historian for the famed Pyramid Club, and was responsible for such irresponsibile masterpieces as WIGSTOCK, THE MOVIE, and MADE FOR TV starring Ann Magnuson. One of his more recent creations is the fabulous public service announcement for AmFAR's ART AGAINST AIDS project, an 80s version of the Sgt Pepper's album cover featuring the B-52s, Nam June Paik, Beverly Johnson, David Byrne, Dianne Brill, Quentin Crisp, Allen Ginsburg, Kenny Scharf, Nile Rodgers and Adele Lutz, to name a fabulous few.

Rubnitz's current projects include a continuing series of movie trailers with whacky titles like The Fairies and Wake Up, Smell The Sanka and Get Your Act Together, Cause I've Got My Own Show To Do. Look for them at trailer parks near you.
