Jayson Scott Musson is a gorilla in a tie. If he’s not wasting hours upon hours re-watching the cantina shoot-out between Han Solo and Greedo as if it was the Zapruder film, then Jayson Scott Musson is sleeping. If he’s not sleeping then he’s eating. Once he’s done eating, he then takes a small hike into the forest where he digs a hole into the earth, so he can have sex with the planet. “I’m trying to make a golem like a Hebrew wizard.” Mr. Musson declares as his reason for this violation of Mother Earth’s sacrosanctity.

This is the closest Mr. Musson will ever come in being either a scientist or a father.

Jayson Scott Musson lives in the city of Philadelphia where he sometimes writes, sometimes raps in a rap group called Plastic Little, sometimes draws, and sometimes paints. He's exhibited his work throughout the bright ol' land of America as well as in the United Kingdom.

Here’s his meager CV if you’re interested.
