when it rains it pours... 
| my primary media are ink and paper-- pens, markers, quill and brush -- cotton, bristol, vellum. stylistically, i draw inspiration from traditional draughtsmanship, tattoo work, Dr. Seuss, coloring books and silhouettes. most of my work focuses on the line, magnifying the outline of an object to the point where it ceases to be outline and becomes the focus of the drawing itself -- the line is no longer a line, but a compound structure of solid fill between two unbroken edges. at a metastylistic level all of my drawings separate foreground from background (depth is created by conscious layering rather than perspective), representation is constructed from the abstract motions of drawing, every component of the work is controlled by the act of drawing, traditional products created by imitating computerized/digital processes and ideas -- filters, algorithms, segmentations and binary oppositions placed directly into the context of physical interactions among body, utensil and paper. with extremely dry/esoteric humour splattered on top. (e.g. the "britishness" of this whole description  ) |

the aim of life is
to live, and to live
