My preferred medium is mixed media, mostly pen & ink and markers. I am an expressionist. I create dynamic, and reflective work. My artist statement is: Creation is all that matters, and if the output of that creation reflects the process or tells the story then it is a beautiful reward.

I am not a classically trained artist. Though I admire the great draftsman and master painters. My roots are in graffiti, graphic design, pop art, comic books, and other forms of popular culture. I have been a fan of the work of Basquiat, Banksy, Keith Haring, and other street artists. For many years I have neglected my own art, rejecting my work and my own voice. Now I am trying to reclaim it. I am who I am, and my art is a reflection of that, as it should be. There is no grand statement of purpose, or deep insight into the human condition, just me trying to understand my own mind and my place in the world.

Okay nevermind I have some more thoughts about this. The conflict between creating for the sake of creating, because it is what humans do, and creating to feed the slop machine and the algorithms to get digital hugs and validation, is fascinating and frustrating. Worst is how humans are outsourcing the act of creation to AI which reduces art to a commodity, a product, a thing to be sold, traded, and consumed. It’s a shame. Making music, art, poetry, dancing, all are things we should be doing. We cannot be consumers and passive participants to life.
