He was born on a Canadian military base in Germany but grew up in Vancouver. In 1984, he attended Emily Carr University of Art and design to become a sculptor, but then moved to Japan to do Japanese business sciences. After that, he returned to Canada and in 1991, published his first novel called\u00a0Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.\u00a0<\/em>The novel became so popular that the Americans born during the 1960s and 70s became regarded as Generation X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this book, he wrote many others that were successful. In regard to his art, he is exhibited across north America and Europe. He creates beautiful, colourful work that is often about popular culture and how the technological revolution effects our minds. He creates work from paintings, prints, and sculptures, to public interactive pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think his work is intriguing and wonderful to look at. I also love the meaning behind it, as the technological revolution is so relevant and it can resonate with many.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
