Tell us, about your work Steven.

“My work is
GOOD and HONEST and REAL.

ORIGINAL!

RELAXING
STIMULATING
CLASSICO
STRONG and
TRADITIONAL.

My work is ROLLED, PRESSED, STEAMED and DRIED
for
1 MINUTE
7 WEEKS
OVER 90 YEARS
in a
LOG CABIN.

My work is like the TASTE OF A MEMORY with
A CRISP PUNCH.

And all my works are realized under the strictest supervision of
RABBI M. SOLOVEICHIK and
AUNT JEMIMA.

Yes, I just read the food packages in my cupboard.

That's kind of how my art works.

EXTRA BERRIES IN THIS JAM!"
