Career

In 2006, Nike Skateboarding released a version of the Air Classic shoe with artwork designed by Fish.[2]

Fish has collaborated with Aesop Rock since the latter's move to San Francisco in 2005. In the fall of 2006, the pair created a book entitled The Next Best Thing, which also included a 7-inch picture disk.[3] Fish later created the artwork for Aesop Rock's fifth studio album None Shall Pass, released by Definitive Jux.[4] In 2009, they again teamed up to release Ghosts of the Barbary Coast on Definitive Jux.[5]

In 2008, DRAGO staged Rome-antic Delusions, an exhibition of Fish's paintings, drawings and screen prints. The exhibition was held in Rome, and much of the art was created there as well.[6]

In 2013 he worked on creating a custom pinball machine for a project called "Bring Back The Arcade" with Tilt Warning Customs.[7]
