what’s a wonderpiece?
The name “Wonderpiece” started out in about 1998, during a time when I was hanging with a bunch of skaters who had slick lingo for just about everything. Hearing the cool, cute skaters refer to their “DOMEPIECE” (i.e. head) — or next level, when they spilled (i.e. wiped out), “I broke my kneepiece” — well, I guess it inspired a whole spell of wondering. Suffice it to say, when I very first joined the world wide web and thought to create a pseudonym for myself, I added the word “PIECE” onto the activity that I found myself doing more than just about anything… WONDER’ing.
Fast forward to now, Wonderpiece has had all kinds of fun & funny incarnations. And with the gazillions of online profiles in recent years, I’ve auto-defaulted to being “Wonderpiece”. As with most of the planet, the lines have blurred between online & offline, to the point that I’ve embraced actually BECOMING Wonderpiece. To me, Wonderpiece is a mix of vibrance, psychedelia, massive consumption of live music, amusing oneself, weird word combos, general kindness, and being in the flow.
Wonderpieces are those types of slivers I find along my cosmic route that I just can’t live without expressing in the cyberworld.
