of ... throw things together and ... it happens, you know? It's happening. – Michael Uhlenkott Post WImP The art collective wound down when the band began to take up more time, though Thomsen and Uhlenkott continued to create art individually. Monitor broke up in 1982 as the Los Angeles punk scene morphed and split into factions: psychedelia, country, hardcore, post-punk, etc. After their time together producing work as WImP and as the band Monitor, the individuals pursued divergent careers, mainly in the arts. Steve Thomsen continued creating art books in the form of collage-based chapbooks. Musically, he went on to perform in the bands Solid Eye (in 1992, with Joseph Hammer and Rick Potts) and Swan Trove (in 1995, with Joseph Hammer), and released solo works on cassette and CD. He now resides in the southwest U.S. and spends time investigating mine shafts and caves for phosphorescent formations and geological curiosities. Michael Uhlenkott graduated from CSUN as an art major and later studied music theory at Los Angeles City College. He worked for the City of Los Angeles as a graphic designer and traveled extensively in the South Pacific, creating a gazetteer of the region and founding the Robert Dean Frisbie Society. He continues to create art and compose music, with a sonata series premiering at Cambridge University in 2017 and a recording in the works. After Monitor, Michael played with the bands Boneheads, The Romans, and Billy Wisdom and the Hee-Shees before returning to his original focus on classical music. Laurie O'Connell did postgrad work in English literature at CSUN and works as a writer and editor. Based in far northern California, she homeschooled her two daughters, is involved in radical politics and animal rescue, and serves on the board of Northstate Women's Health Network. Jeff Rankin graduated from CSUN as an English lit major. He became the director of public services at the UCLA Special Collections Library. Anne Connor graduated from UCLA Library School and became the Director of Los Angeles Public Library's Central Library. Keith Mitchell went on to play drums in the bands The Romans, Opal, Green on Red, Billy Wisdom and the Hee-Shees, and Mazzy Star. He died after a short battle with cancer on May 14, 2017.
