When I finished my painting degree, I was painting really big abstract canvases. I decided after realizing the influence that Kevin Graham (fellow painter and patron) had on my philosophy of art that big gigantic abstract paintings were impractical and somewhat dated. Kevin was a big fan of the Mexican Muralists whose intentions were to bring about artwork for the common man. They accomplished this by painting murals. I also believe that Art should reach out toward the common man. I attempt to reach the common man by using a cartoonish style that is easily understood by everyone. This is in stark contrast to the imaginary language that the elitist artist and art critic invented to fuel abstract artwork. I also believe that artwork should be fun and interesting, instead of lethargic and stale. Life is filled with unhappy stuff, but I won't paint it, unless I'm making fun of it, because I like to make fun of stuff and I also like puns and double entendres.
So look at my paintings and if you like one, buy one. Prices are negotiable. If you like a painting you see, you should have it, so please email me if you are interested in any of them and we can work out the price.
