Each piece starts with a sketch usually drawn at a Starbucks where I feed off the energy of the caffeine filled environment. I sketch using a form of automatic drawing where my hand draws a thing before my mind determines what that thing is. I don’t have a studio as my computer is the space I use to build the world I am creating and I think of this process more as play than work. I have no interest in the traditional roles and spaces of the Artist. I don’t even think of my work as “Art” as there is a danger in that, I just think of it as what I love to do. I would be more suited in a playroom than a studio and think of my computer as a toybox rather than a tool. When creating the work I use a three dimensional modeling software called Maya. The great thing about that is that when I am in the virtual space, I find forgotten things I put there long ago, things like a picture of my sister in a locket hidden inside a dresser drawer or a folded love letter from my wife.

“When I was 9 years old I received a book of art for Christmas. In this book was “A Portrait of a Man” by Jan Van Eyck. I was stunned by this image and it made a memory so profound that I can still remember the exact moment as if it were yesterday. This simple portrait held a power over me and set me in a direction of making pictures for the rest of my life. Some say this piece was a self portrait of Jan Van Eyck, and if so, it was as if that old man with his piercing ancient eyes burnt an impression on my soul like a hot iron brands the skin. The man in the picture was old but my self portrait is a reflection of my own soul… something still young with much to learn.”
