I'm Marshall Astor. I am gainfully employed as the Visual Arts Director at the Angels Gate Cultural Center, live in San Pedro, used to run Walled City . a gallery in San Pedro with a focus on experimental projects and installation art.
Occasionally I get to make art of my own, and I tend to focus on conceptual projects that are usually sculpture based. I spend so much time working with and looking at other people's art that it's hard for me to focus on my own work.
When I'm not doing something art related, I try to spend as much time as possible cycling, practicing naginata and kyudo, and of course, taking lots of pictures with my trusty Nikon D70.
I'm Male and Single.

Testimonials
John Michael Gill says:
"Marshall Astor Food Pornographer has an eye for the obscure. Marshall and i became friends after he plucked me from the gutter and gave me my best and favorite shows at his old gallery Walled City. Shortly thereafter we became lovers and have been ever since. When one looks through the photos Marshall has uploaded, one gets a sense of how versatile this man is. Everything from fine art to Fine art Hamburgers, Marshall has captured it. Keep an eye on this fellow and his upcoming projects. All my love Marshall.
