Artist Statement

I’m influenced by classic cartoons and comic books. My paintings are an assemblage of inspiration of what I grew up watching on TV and scouring conventions and videos stores for that censored, banned or forgotten cartoon. After studying animation, I wanted to try and capture the feeling and emotion of a moving cartoon on a flat canvas. If I can give the illusion of movement, laughter and or horror to the viewer, then I have somehow succeeded.
