About me: About My Work:
My challenge is this: how effectively can I communicate emotion with the simplest of lines? I seek to distill emotion to its barest essense through line art (a high falootin' term for doodling).
Specifically, I'm interested in people and their relationships; to other people, places, situations and things.
I often resort to emotion on the level of irony. I love irony. If you can see irony in my work, then I'm doing my job.
If you have time check out this article in the San Diego Union Tribune in which the first show of the collective is reviewed, as is some of my artwork:
When I first sketched this two-headed person it was for a series inspired by "carnies" or carnival-folk who were societal outcasts. As I continued work, however, it became crystal-clear to me that this was more authentically a piece about family. Whether good or bad, family consists of relationships that we don't have the luxury of choosing. Despite the fact that we share the same genes, mannerisms and likenesses, we can be world's away from identifying with even our closest of relatives.
