About
Contrary to the way he talks and acts, Jon Gates is not from California, but in fact from Oklahoma. If you say you have heard of this place, you'd be lying. He typically describes his homestate as Texas's Canada. Questioning his social responsibility would be an irrational thing to do; he takes pride in bestowing his hard-learned lessons in life through the medium of art and axes in unsuspecting childrens' backs that once used to fly kites. His qualmish interest in violence paradoxically is unset by his smooth, polite and laughing demeanor. Everything aside, when you chop things down, Jon is a spectacle all should experience once being informed of... perhaps even before.
