When I first began painting, I discovered not only an exciting new avenue of self-expression, but an alternative sense of humor I never knew I possessed. These paintings are absurd. Ridiculous. Nonsensical. Silly. Amateur. And sometimes scary.
I attach no great importance to these things. I just have fun and play with color. Painting is a remarkably cathartic art. My style is that of a horrified child whose only weapon against his vision of monsters is a brush armed with paint.
