Artist Statement #14

he/him they/them, I create digital art. In 1997 my ex-boyfriend Nagano San introduced me to the Internet, and I learned Photoshop shortly afterward. In 1998 I made and toured with an art film, and learned Avid, (essentially Photoshop for moving images). While I operated my jewelry boutique, (BURST), in Toronto, (2004 - 11), I did all my visual marketing; by then, I could build websites too.  

I credit many artists who have inspired me, like  Warhol, Mapplethorpe, and illustrator Tom of Finland.  I look to nature and often employ my knowledge of urban and rural spaces in my portraits of people. I'm naturally attracted to all things with a duality - as obvious as smoke and mirrors; blunts and sex and as simple as a two-headed coin toss.

 I make images digitally. I draw digitally. I paint digitally. I am constantly image-making. 

Some work I share here, some I share elsewhere, and some I never show to anyone but the men, women, and others who privately collect my work. 

 I believe we are in: The Age of the IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE. 😈
