Motivations

I draw humans. I am self taught. I have drawn since I was a child. I have always tried to create what no other hand will ever be able to create. Life here on earth is a joyous miracle in continuance, and yet here, apathy rules, indifference the wisdom worshipped.... yet why? All possess potentialities extraordinarily grand. Some are born into circumstances overwhelmingly burdensome to ever achieving any semblance of creative endeavors or aspirations, yet most here, voluntarily never try. Everywhere is this evident. I will not be one more. I want to create an actuality existant for all to perceive, a drawing beholdable, which will be undenyable evidence, that here is living proof we are the miracles in disguise. These drawings are but a symbolic inference of the potentiality existant to all who but make up their mind and follow their desire. So hard do human heads try to believe human beings are eternally and inherently flawed, so often do heads spew forth endless excuses justifying negation of effort... all rather sad and bewildering when I know in my heart each and everyone of us is grander than we ever dreamed. I hope to create timeless works which will inspire wonderment and reflection upon the beauty of the ability of human desire and emotion. I do not create for some splendid self-promotion fest nor for fame nor for money have any of my drawings been created, but rather to awaken all beholders of these works to the realization,we are capable, even in the simplest of mediums with the simplest of tools, of achieving beautifully beyond the theorized realms of possibilities. I hope to show my drawings to many people in many places around the world. Know of any good places? Write or e-mail me. I will travel. See you in the future.

Unlike those supposed "photo realists", my goal and intent was never to imitate the photo from which the drawing/art is based...my intent was and is to surpass the photo, for the photo is just an imitation itself of the reality upon which it is based. So with reality on one side and me on the other and the photo in between, my desires, hand in hand with tools available will exceed the limitations of the photo so as the work will beautifully reflect the wondrous reality from which creation springs. If you didn't know, the integrity of the original existence of one moment in time, could and can be considered as worthy of respect enough so as to inspire a motivational creativity to reflect such integrity for all to behold. This is the direction I have pursued on occasion in this art I share with you. The realities of human beings I try to reflect upon with all the infinity of emotion and detail existent, inspires my pen to create universes of detail with a technique never before seen. I hope to reveal to certain fossilized "there's nothin' new under the sun" heads...well...here from my pen are works beyond any they've ever seen, be they in Paris, Tokyo, Amsterdam, New York, Berlin, London, Leningrad, L.A., or anywhere, those who think such thoughts have never seen such works comparable...and maybe just maybe all the masters aren't dead 500 years past...but maybe alive here and now under your nose...

My drawings were done to be shown, not sold. How strange is it for one artist to understand dollars are temporal, printed redundancy in transit to other means and forms common.... These drawings were always intended to reveal an understanding of a medium far beyond the known and assumed limitations of potentiality for a medium commonly understood and available to all. No, they may not change the world or the closeness of your shave or the m.p.g. of your car, but your understanding of human expression and desire, maybe. They will remain available for viewing 'til the day I'm dead and after that, who knows, not me what'll become of all I've done. I've tried to do something with my time to benefit in some way, shape, or form those that come my way and by my works. I would hope they remain evidence someone once upon a time tried to surpass the norm and succeeded. All of my efforts in these drawings, regardless of others' mouthed speculations, are for positive gained awareness and understanding of any & all passing beholders or contemplators. And for all those who possessed the want and determination of creating something extraordinarily beyond mankind's sometimes barbaric expectations and efforts and who never had a chance to do so, well, here's the work of one who did have a chance, one who had, has and will have you always in mind and heart, one whose efforts are here to kick the ass and minds of naysayers, doomsdayers, suppressors and oppressors (meaning governmental gangs & religious fanatics usually) and in general all the doubters of the ability of one.
