OTHER NOTES
Recently updated my personal art website (January 2012) where you can see more works, if you are interested in anything there that isn't posted here, let me know and I will make it available for sale as a print. I have been working diligently trying to catalog and update my work and haven't gotten to posting anything new here, however will be doing that in late sprint 2012. Until then, with the exception of 2 of the works, this selection of works posted are created during the period of 2006-2010.

Many of the goofy dog paintings are displayed at 100 Monkeys organic restaurant in Glastonbury, England and recently I visited there to see them on display.

My 'philosophy' about the art...
My art isn't a radical expression of something political or social, although sometimes it may address an issue. While figures may be recognizable, shock value and exact replication is not something that exists in my work, since to me that is the job of mass media forms and photography. My ideas are revealed primarily through the traditional mediums of painting & drawing. They are also expressed in digital forms blending these traditions with technology to create multi-media pieces. My interest is in creating an external shadow of our model of reality - expressing the unspoken - a visual sensation, a feeling, or expression that is more universal while maintaining subject . Thus, the focus of my work is to evoke the viewer and give them a point of departure, a basis to reflect upon their own internal models of the world. Whatever comes from this is then uniquely their own.
