i'll center allign it so you can tell where it ends.
Artist statement
Fluid.
Unique.

…go into detail about the work, so the reader can visualize.
I like to create comics that are funny by poking fun at tv shows and celebrities I follow in pop culture or entertainment. I have always been attracted to the glamourous, excessive world of Hollywood. I equally admire and satirize it.
The biggest joy I get as an artist is watching someone crack up when they read a page or get one of the jokes. It makes me feel like I’ve passed on that humor to an audience that gets my humor.
When I work, I imagine characters and scenes with a heightened sense of detail. I deploy a barrage of flourishes and pencil whips in my drawings. This tactic helps me really land on the details and line weight that I want my pencil work to have. Some artists that inspire me are Michael Turner and J Scott Campbell. I feel that they both exaggerate and stylize in all the right ways. They are Infusions of past successful artists, but they have developed their own styles that are unique and can be clearly identified without reading a name.
Recently, my work has taken a leap of momentum as I am shifting my focus to a more stream-of-consciousness style of comics, letting the page develop on its own instead of trying to plan it out completely before I start. The next step is eliminating the unnecessary lines so the work can still have the fire that I want it to have, but be clear and readable. My relaxed, sketchy style has proved to be a little too messy, so I’ve been focusing on clarity and eliminating the superfluous detail to accomplish great work. I’ve seen a great deal of progress after making these changes.
