From the disastrous results of the Iranian election to the religious moral differences that create debate in seemingly every country in the world, I have found it boils down to one thing: you just can’t tell people what to do.
Just an observation.

The biggest issue on the public’s mind these days is the economy. People are losing their homes, modern day Hoovervilles are cropping up, and it’s easy to sense the unstable energy and raw nerves lurking just under the surface of day to day life. Therefore, I decided to make a little ode to this moment in time. I just hope the jokers that got us into this mess have learned a couple things. Right now, the joke is on us all.

I totes got published for the first time in a online British mag called “SuperSweet”!
I got to go all freak-out illustration style to interpret the essence of the work of fashion designer Craig Lawrence. The assignment was a perfect fit for what I do and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.
Big Thanks to Choltida and the open-minded staff at SuperSweet.
When my curiosity happened upon information regarding the Large Hadron Collider, I was smitten. After reading a number of things about it, and watching a rap about it on youtube, I still can barely explain what it does. However, I do know, it fascinates me. Along my journey researching this crazy contraption, I came upon many distractions of interest, some of which are noted in my painting.

The mysteries of the universe revealed! The creation of man? Or is it just a certain precarious demi god I happen to lunch with regularly? Either way, my obsession with IM slang and ridiculous headlines continues.
