Artist, writer and illustrator with a focus on VHS and functional audio cassette-based sculptural works, as well as curation of VHS media. Mastermind of the FarOutVHS YouTube channel, supplier of obscure VHS media, lost media hunter, and pop culture philosopher.

My primary interest in physical media is in the realm of used blank VHS/Betamax tapes containing television broadcasts with original commercials from the 80's through the early 2000's. I buy tapes from all over and I share as much as I possibly can in full on my youtube channel. I share shorter stuff on instagram and facebook like individual commercials and teasers for my youtube uploads. I don't really trade, if I have something you want I will just give it to you. I have quite a bit that I can't share on youtube so let me know if you're looking for anything I may have come across. Ultimately I would like to help and encourage people who are curious about getting into hunting/collecting tapes and digitizing them. I hope to eventually start livestreaming my entire process to help show how easy it really is to do all of this. If you are interested in starting a similar channel to share your findings I'd be happy to provide you with advice and tips to help you navigate copyright concerns and the youtube contend ID system, etc. I have a professional background in graphic design, video production, editing and social media management so I do all of this myself as a hobby and a passion project -- no AI whatsoever. I do not believe in gatekeeping, I will share all of my secrets with you.
