Someone once said "he's very good at what he does, I just wish he'd do something else." They had a point. When I graduated I was so sickened by the amount of death and cruelty in my work, that I wanted to leave art alone for a while - do a proper job, a useful job - but each time I picked up a pencil, it was there again. The cruel and pleasurable facts of life need voicing because they're real to us, that reality compounded daily through the media. Despite a visceral quality to much of this work, behind it is a desire to create something poignant and visually compelling - beautiful even.
