Fine art, comics, illustration, all with my beloved brush and colored waterproof India ink. Recently, I've been experimenting with water-soluble ink pencil, as well. I've been known to geek out in discussions about favored watercolor paper (hot-press, smooth!).
My style ranges from sketchy to finely detailed compositions. Whether in book-form or in gallery installations (I like to call these room-books), I consider my work to be comics. One of the great things about the comics medium is its capacity to use multiplicity of voices and simultaneity. Art is a means of engaging in conversations and contemplations. With this in mind, I like to raise questions and stimulate thought and feelings. I'm not here to provide answers. As with all dialogue, the take-away is collaborative.
