I met Ryan Patey some 10 years ago in the East Village where he was distributing free copies of his magazine, T.O.F.U.

His most recent release is his e-book, This Job is Sh💩t or How I Became A Full-Time House Sitter to Travel the World.

We talked about her work, building community with art, and the decidedly unique path she took to creating her latest single, “Surrender.”
