PROCESS
Everything you see for sale here is personal artwork created out of love for the subject matter. Airplanes, wildlife, adventure related, skate + snow, dinosaurs… all the cool shit. Some stuff is a one off and some done in a series and some stuff on tshirts regularly reprinted.
I work in a variety of different styles and mediums, often through an extensive process including hand drawing, digitally manipulating, screen printing or with experimental painting techniques. Almost all items (canvas prints excluded) are printed or crafted by hand in our home studio (in the USA) with love and care. It's truly a passion and labor of love!
I get my inspiration from the world around me, through my travels, world news and whenever I find something aesthetically or visually stimulating. My work is often created with a certain sense of experimentation and exploration. Occasionally I will work with mediums that were not initially intended to be combined with each other (watercolor board + acrylics + cut paper) but I use them in the ways I see fit to generate the look and feel I’m going for. Bringing the idea of tactility and weathering into the work creates a mood and provides the viewer with sensations they might not always experience when viewing a work of art. From such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp and Mark Rothko I’ve expanded upon the techniques and ideas they used to develop my own vision. Sometimes the work is intended to generate an intense dialogue, via critical commentary and sometimes its intended just to entertain.
Here are just a few examples of the process:
