SPACE COWBOY’S job is in the category of the less ordinary. He’s an extreme performance artist, which means he spends his days juggling chainsaws while blindfolded, eating broken glass and smashing cement slabs balanced on his head with a large axe. He says he gets inspiration for his acts – which have garnered him 34 entries in the Guinness World Records book – from daydreaming, visiting hardware stores and reading the newspaper.

“I’ve always been a fan of Ripley’s Believe It or Not and the Guinness World Records book.

I like taking old ideas and modifying them to fit my personality.
