Maybe there’s a killer among the customers, a secret hiding behind the counter, or something strange lurking beneath tonight’s blue-plate special.
Aaron Guzman is a loosely constructed vessel of spraypaint cans, pen nibs, and life drawing class flyers living in Southern Connecticut. He leaves a trail of ink and acrylic paints wherever he goes.
