My name is Charlie Trotman. People call me Spike, and I live in Chicago. I was born in Washington, D.C. the day that Jim Jones poisoned 900 members of his doomsday cult in Jonestown, Guyana.
I grew up in Maryland. In the north, they call me Rebel. In the south, they call me Yankee.
My art education consists of four years at Spelman College, which were helpful, and a year-long program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which was a complete waste of fucking time. More on that if there's interest.
