Artist Statement
 

I only do projects when I feel there is something to be said.

There is no reason to clutter up an already crowded field of media with a piece only designed to make money.

I also feel a responsibility to make something that gives you more than you expect. Push the envelope. Experiment. Strive for something new. And to do the least possible harm environmentally and socially while doing it. I don't always align with the same goals the conglomerates have that air my projects, but they have brought them to you so you can laugh, and hopefully think. For that I am grateful.

I believe in my signature being a mark of quality, both in the art and the way I do business.

I think that details are important. Conscience choices. I have no qualms about stopping a production line to put an extra gag on a sign in a scene that you may never notice.

Or maybe you will.

I believe that artists are at the core of our evolution. And that everyone has art that needs to be shared.

That storytelling binds every culture, and that every media is an extension of cave paintings and dances around fires.

Don't believe everything you think. Keep questioning.
