My paintings and drawings are mixtures of images from sketch books, hand lettering, digital art and collage. I use pencil, acrylic, digital printing, computer projections and collage to create these images. The figure, hand lettering and typography are the major themes of my work. I am intrigued by folk art, primitive art and all forms of graphic art from information design to corporate identity systems. I want my work to contain an intriguing awkwardness that has a rhythm between contour, color, and mistake. –Artist statement
