Drawings
Drawing has always been for me, a kind of shorthand painting, a hybrid expression between writing and painting. It offers me the analytical quickness of writing a story but still confines itself as a visual medium like a painting.
Like my paintings I dwell on the unpleasantries of modern life. Somewhere in that ugliness is a strange beauty and a cathartic resolution to what troubles me. Clearly, based on the content of my drawings, I don't hold society or it's moral compass in high regard.
Society tried to do with me as it saw fit. And often had it's way with me. But in my drawings I always win regardless of the subject. If my drawings could be summed up in two words it would be
"fuck you". But it's a fuck you with a twinkle in my eye and a smile on my face. Because as beligerent as they are, they are also playful and I love that the playfulness in me comes out so freely. A perfect examle is "Parking regulation", which I love. Also take a look at "Sunday morning" and "Daily Grind". LOL I still laugh every time I see those.
