Hayes Johnson was homeless, traveling a nomadic lifestyle for the better part of 10 years.From smoking crystal meth, to vagabonding on trains, to pursuing a path of sobriety; Hayes shares his life experience as a performance artist.Swallowing swords, hammering nails into his face, rapping, singing, playing guitar...Hayes has cultivated a skill set that allows him to build a crowd in any arena, be it the street, or the stage.He offers art in the form of sideshow entertainment.But, he gets nervous every time he performs.Fear, anxiety, and self-doubt.As soon as he begins to speak, as soon as he takes a plunge into the unknown, allowing himself to be seen, something happens.He's given gusto, a surge of wind, carrying him through the performance.A few weeks ago, we drove to his home, "The Black Hold Bordello", to catch a conversation.This is: Inside the Minds Eye with Hayes JohnsonTo watch the film we produced featuring Hayes and many of his talents visit: www.UIMindsEye.com
