On Monday, someone happened upon performance artist Nate Hill while he was channeling his Bouncy Rides character, supposedly for the last time, at the Hunter College subway station and had no idea what was going on. The firsthand account: […]
Performance artist Nate Hill, known for creating an array of mascot-based alter egos, self-explores his changing attitude while he’s in Punch Me Panda mode. He’s apparently becoming more and more confrontational. Sounds like he’s just settling into his permanent role… that of a New Yorker! […]

So, about the Bosch Garden of Earthly Delights… Those mutant harp-lutes and contorted drums? They sound “horrible” in real life.

Nate Hill has reincarnated! Earlier this year, the artist had himself a Manhattan walkabout (and Tweetfest) as a masked, 100% white-clad Mr. Dropout, “detachment walking” through the city in his “cocoon,” meditating and kind of resembling this LES character. Then he went “missing.” And now, he’s back as Punch Me Panda. It’s a panda. You […]

As Mr. Dropout, he takes his Detachment Walks to Harlem and Washington Heights – “areas that do not normally see performance art of […]
Nate Hill, the magically strange NYC-based artist who has developed more alter egos than a schizophrenic may be getting a reality show centered around his bad memory-extracting mascot: Death Bear. He says a bunch of producers from LA have been hounding him and is actively seeking advice on how best to proceed with a Hollywood […]
