Thinks a string of facts works as a bio.

"Army of the Undeadstock" was Freehand Profit's first book and features more than 250 pages of full color photographs showcasing his work from the past few years. Each one of the more than 35 sneaker masks featured in "Army of the Undeadstock" was accompanied by a custom crafted haiku written by San Diego poet B(e) Selah. The book also featured excerpts from Freehand Profit's blog 'The Hip Hop Nerd' discussing the meaning, the process and the spirit behind the work. Although it sold out in just 6 months, Freehand is back in the lab making new masks and working on his 2nd book.
