Painting is my primary form of artistic expression. I find that it is best due to my visual mind and the quick idea-to-finish turn around. A book can take months and I hate the structure of a keyboard. Likewise, I'm not really versed in music and not ready to put in the immense time required to perfect that skill. Similarly, I hate the structure of a keyboard. 

​

All paintings are in black and white. Its just the way it should be, dichotomous. Plus black goes with anything I heard. There are a variety of foci for my art including satirizing of pop culture, exploring human sexuality, justified violence, and animals doing weird things.

​

I have a problem with some modern day and even classic art. I just don't get it. Where's the intellectual appeal to the Mona Lisa? Where is the detail in a Pollock? And I have a great bane for abstract art. It's like the media persuading us that the Kardashians are cool or that Kobe Briant is a god. Perhaps the same forces existed back then. Did anyone think to say that it may have been Leonardo Da Vinci the person that made his art famous, not the art itself?

​

I believe that good art should be:

​

1) Simple (but not too simple)

2) Emotive (specific to one person or a group of people)

3) Intellectual (educative, reflective)

4) Passionate (you'll feel it when you know it and know it when you feel it)
