General statement

Is it Funny? A question I often ask myself and others, a simple query that leads to

complex answers. One could say that the question is at the core of my work, but why? A

question to answer a question, why not? My illustration work straddles the realms of the

mundane and absurd, often intersecting in humorous ways. I look at the modern world

in its insanity, and pine for another time where I could cast my gaze upon the world in its

absurdity. I grew up with a metaphorical cavalcade of incredible animated television

programs that inspire me still; the rise of the internet including the dot com boom and

being immersed in some of the biggest generational leaps of entertainment technology

in the last 50 years. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. My work

has an element of classic cartoons, pop culture of the 90s, and early internet meme

culture, all blended in delightful mayhem reminiscent of the iconoclastic counterculture

of the late 90s. I primarily work in the digital medium, utilizing software such as

photoshop and adobe animate, software has been used and continues to be used by

many of my illustration and animation inspirations. My ambition is to meet them

someday as a collaborative professional peer, where I can pose the question to them; is

it funny?
