Timeline
Gibbs first received recognition for his artwork in the mid-1980’s, when a vivid colored-pencil portrayal of a pig eating from trough of books won first prize in an elementary school book club competition themed “Pig Out on Books.”
In the early 1990’s, he began experimenting with a MIDI keyboard, a DOS version of Cakewalk running on a 256, and a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. He and a friend sold their first album for $5 at age 15. He also took up darkroom photography in high school and exhibited his first photo in the county fair.
In the late 1990’s, Gibbs developed his skills in photography, audio and video production, graphic design and music composition. In 2000, he received his BS in Electronic Media from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, where he won awards for his student work.
In 2002 and 2003, he hosted Border Pop Radio, a weekly latin-alternative college radio program on WRPI Troy, NY. He also taught courses through local after-school programs for at-risk youth.
In 2004, he received his MFA in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.
Gibbs is currently incubating new ideas, exploring the cultural borderlands between the U.S. and México.
