About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To play Jazz Music,To Build Glass Houses from Trash so people can grow food and sleep Outside

ABOUT ME

I have just finished a year long trip around the US building sculptural greenhouses made of recycled materials. Check out our website: AmericanDreamsTrashandDirt.com

I am a Jazz musician, Artist, and apprenticing Stone Mason. (Make money playing music and humping rocks, and spend it trying to make art) I enjoy building and making things. Very open minded. I enjoy all things good. Trying to find smaller and smaller things that make me happy instead of big ones. Attempting to reduce the number of my possessions. Trying not to sleep all day even though I love doing it. (sometimes) Trying to take trips to the mountains and the beach. Trying to practice all the time. I love making new friends and seeing new things. I love being outside . I used to be a cook at this Vegetarian Thai food restaurant. I need to get better at Spanish. I have turned my backyard into a (soon to be) self sustaining glass, stone, and bamboo village. Check out some pics @ Theglasshouseproject-bjensen.blogspot.com
