My Bio
***I'm selectively uploading until I can figure out this whole "make money through art" thing.

I'm an artist. Well, actually I'm more of an entertainer. So, I should be in entertainment... but I'm not... so, I'm depressed... which makes me an artist. See how that works?

My artwork derives from a barrage of self-inflicted insults. I procrastinate to the brink of failure, degrade myself into submission, and then begin to create under threat of suicide.

I am utterly lost personally, professionally, and artistically. My artwork has been a series of escape plans and coping mechanisms designed to either alleviate neurosis or illustrate inner turmoil. Either scenario only seems to further exaggerate and exploit my awkwardness.

My current body of work is an evolving storyline involving a cast of characters that represent differing degrees of my unrelenting pessimism. On the plus side, none of my art is formally referred to as "untitled."

Very good work man, I checked out your whole gallery. All the self loathing and skewed sense of physical self, really compelling. It's a very consistently disturbing style, which is cool.
