Art is an uncontrollable passion and obsession. After many travels around the United States for such things as skateboarding and graffiti art, I found a home in San Francisco in 1997 and, among other things, a great community in which to exist and make art. The past nine years have brought me the development of a repertoire of iconic images. Through murals, paintings, installations and drawings, I have used these images to tell stories about everyday life in America, filtering political commentary through forms of graffiti art and underground comics, fused with clipart from the early 1900s and medieval renderings that chart the history of man and nature.
The relationship between man and nature has been a reoccurring theme in my work, as have the effects of globalism and capitalism on the world. Although heavily interested in showing work and doing large multimedia installations in gallery and museum settings, I have spent a tremendous amount of time creating murals and various works in the streets of America and abroad. I have an intense interest in painting large-scale imagery on walls in public spaces that address and inform the very diverse audience of the general public, including children, about current social and political issues.
