In a Nutshell
When I draw - I use thick, black charcoal sticks. It gets messy and my hands are engulfed in black powder, but that is half the fun of being an artist. I use a white plastic eraser, which I constantly have to clean off, to help smudge charcoal streaks and lines across the paper. A vast majority of all those "streaks" you will see are touched up with my eraser. What do I draw? Organic and abstract forms. I like drawing explosions or implosions and a chaotic mess of tangled lines and shapes.
Artist Statement
With the use of charcoal in hand, I plunge myself into a vast and unknown world. It is full of wonder, beauty and deadly traps, where the erotic behavior of a putrid beast is only a simple organism. This world consists of danger, protection and harmony; yet it is the essential to thrive, breathe and decay. As the drawing unfolds, I am not alarmed, visiting the weeds of tentacles, the razor sharp claws, the odd-shaped sacks of puss, and the ghastly underwater nemesis. We are surrounded and engulfed in such an organic and ever evolving world of creatures. In a world with neither right nor wrong. It can be unforgiving and chaotic, while also astounding with imagination over what can be created through the use of charcoal in hand.
