This bears some explaining.
It was many years ago, now. ..I had a dream in which I was told "Your name is no longer Michael".

And I didn't feel too good about that. ..I'm still ambivalent about it, really.

To have a "name", that's the absence of your name, is a bit contradictory.

But it helped break me out of a cycle that was becoming self-destructive. ..> Myself and Christianity <

And I decided, that dreams and art both come from the same direction. . . that I would use it as an art name.

It's one of those quintessential wierd dream things, sometimes it feels cool, at others it's disturbing.

I think my art's the same way. .. That it's a good fit.

A word about the mysterious script.

It's a shorthand I developed -- one of those things an isolated intelligence might do.

I had wanted one for some time. ..("Speaking secret alphabet" -- Jim Morisson)

And got around to developing it while taking notes at a technical school.

It's phonetic English. ..It says "no longer michael".

Trademark registration was pending on the "No longer Michael" name and design. .
