FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Creative Thriftshop is excited to announce an open call for participation, and everyones’ invited!

Killa Kouch is an icon, a beloved friend to all those who have known him over the last decade. He, like any ailing figure-head, may have to retire soon. But before he does; CTS wants to make sure he is forever immortalized in the textbooks of time by offering to all of you out there in the world a chance to come and have your photo taken on his lap.

Yes, we are serious. You get five shots, move around, pose, ponder, meditate, this is a collaborative project and the more you do the better it will be.

Killa Kouch is a living legend in the small community of living legends. As a leading figure in an avant-garde movement of progressive homeless street poetry that originated in the early 70's; he engineered a hybrid form of intellectual gentrification that saw the amalgamation of high brow concepts spliced with low-brow expectations. Unfortunately, like most genius creators, he was attracted by the ubiquitous addictions of stardom. As a recovering homeless junky and war torn veteran of life, he continues at his old age to inspire and to teach the youth beauty and truth through the enamoring vehicle of poetry & a soft cushion.
