Artist Statement

Abstraction has always been a foreign concept to me for as long as I can remember.

I've always felt that art should resemble breathing. That it should be fluid and easy to digest. It should generate a response and cause a person to appreciate all of it’s components after a single encounter. It shouldn't be so difficult to figure out the message something is trying to convey, nor as simple as drawing a line on a white canvas, put it up on display in a gallery, and call it a masterpiece.

Some may think that my dislike for the abstract is caused by my inability to comprehend complex forms of art. Which is probably the case. Maybe I'm not intelligent enough. Maybe my weak and feeble mind will never be able to process the intricacies of perplex subjects.

But I do believe that the entire notion of abstraction, of looking at a piece of work and not being able to describe what you're looking at or what is even happening can be enjoyable and fulfilling. Even if it isn't to me.
I've always loved to draw. Over the years it developed into my favorite pass-time. 

My art is simple and straightforward. It resembles the kind of person I am. I mostly focus on people, or characters, to be more exact. Characters with unique designs that give each them an identity and sets them apart from one another. I also like to give them names. It gives me a feeling that they could be part of something...Something bigger.

Embarrassing as it is to say, this hobby and even the career I chose to pursue is heavily influenced by the countless number of Japanese Anime's that I've watched over the years.
