statement

Humor is a huge part of my work, like a rabbit with a chain saw fighting a giant tarantula or a pink cloud eating head fighting a silver cardboard box fashioning an eternal mouth of hell. Comical wordplay fuels my work and allows for insightful visuals. Not taking myself too seriously is an integral part of my working process and allows endless boundaries for sardonic ideas. In the pursuit of creating art it is truly a double-edged sword or a sad-happiness. One can’t help being influenced by the daunting events of the world. The dark blanket hangs heavy over all of us, a derivative of a mind-numbing government and news media.
