His art work has been included in the museum showsBecoming Animal at the MASS MoCA (North Adams, Massachusetts), The Idea of the Animal at the RMIT Gallery in association with the Melbourne International Arts Festival (Melbourne, Australia), and the Maltwood Art Museum (Victoria, BC), and is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (Los Angeles.)

Collectively, he works with Just Seeds/Visual Resistance Artist Cooperative, the Street Art Workers and the Cut and Paint ‘zine project.
