Allan Hayslip

Dallas-based insomnia enthusiast, Deep Ellum partisan, photographer, writer, & musician with a recent specialty in something he calls Performance Portraiture. Allan cultivates a beard because it's far cheaper that cosmetic chin surgery. An ancient alumnus of Sarah Lawrence College (BA, Liberal Arts), grad-school dropout (RTVF) from the University of North Texas, he’s also an exemplar of the inherent weaknesses of Dallas’ swankiest private secondary schools. Allan aspires to one day monetize his oppositional/defiant disorder.
