Artist Statement
Exploiting a sharp wit and humor, vibrant color, cartoonish iconography, and combining aspects of commercial art experience, stories about people or events are packaged into a succinct visual statement. Visual statements that exploit and sometimes abuse vibrant color, incorporate cartoonish iconography and the ever wonderful pun.
I am under the influence of a Sixties Latch-Key Kid youth, the musings of Stephen King and Hunter S. Thompson, pop culture (culture?), Warhol and Lichtenstein, Speed Racer, television commercials and consumer product marketing, Mad Magazine and Eastern Philosophy.
