Born and raised in Florida, Justin Kleiner grew up in a household where creativity and artistic expression were very prevalent. Having grown up in such an environment, it's no wonder he is a visual artist / musician today. Currently, he is based in San Francisco, CA and involved in a number of projects. Aside from the personal work found on this site, he works with his brothers Ryan and Matt on Glas Apparel, which the three co-founded. You can find more of his work on the Glas Blog and Myspace.

Born on a dull Scottish island, runs away to get drugged and have gay sex, and when he gets bored of all that jazz he decides to stay in London. One night he goes dressed as an old man to Nag Nag Nag and he likes it so very much he decides to create them a website and some pop art videos... Thus begins the story of this icon in postmodernity and the London underground scene. In his websites and videos, you penetrate or are penetrated vertiginously into a universe of noise, destruction, pop and whatever else you find fantastic and irreversible.

Directed by Motomichi Nakamura, this video for The Knife is rather appropriately bizarre.

From the video description:

The animation starts with a girl that wakes up from a long sleep and starts searching for a sacred apple. At the end of a nightmarish story the girl is able to find her apple but only to discover the real price that she has to pay for it.
