I work mostly in pens and irony, generally on small sizes of cardboard that have been wrapped in masking tape.  My illustrations are sardonic, as I am attracted to dark humor and ambiguity.  I collect the meanings that the people discover in my pictures.  Every person discerns a different meaning...the people are brilliant.
