He works with media campaigns (both new and old flavors), creates video for web and TV, and blogs when able. Channing came to guerilla video production as founder of Cat Jams Label, a DIY anti-art collective that used available resources to curate meta-media collaborations among a global cadre of artists and musicians, using arbitrariness and humor to examine art's role in popular culture.
Channing served in Americorps*NCCC in 2000, where he and his team worked hands-on with housing, education, and environmental concerns in the southeast United States. As a small business owner in central Missouri, he worked to keep downtowns viable against encroaching big-box stores. In his spare time, Channing avoids arguing on the internet.
