Sometimes in Los Angeles, New York, Miami but at the moment in Oakland. A nomadic child of the Universe. Fascinated with all things yoga, energy work, geomancy, hidden knowledge of the occult, and ego death. Casino is a trained Ashtanga Yoga teacher and believes in union of all things. Check out his yoga practice here. His work deals with the nature of reality, identity, the ego, and spirituality as seen from one of many extentions of god conciousness. Art. His past clients include Marie Claire Korea, Thvm Rag, Musee Mag, Ke$ha, Pase Rock, designers UNIF, B.Scott, Fremont, Posso, Costume Dept, Lauren Ann Wolfe, and Beubelet. This blog is all original work.
