I get my influences from the rotting corpse of Hieronymus Bosch who is hiding in my wardrobe delivering the baby of Max Ernst and Ed Big Daddy Roth, along with Robert Williams, Pieter Bruegel and Magritte. Scattered outside are mice, rabbits, elephants, eggs, chickens, dolls, cartoons, pop icons, alchemy symbols, and themes with landscapes, which range from bright surreal worlds to the darker rooms of a European church. All which are constructed with acrylics and oils with a complex composition and lots of planning. I also did the "Forever 27" illustrated poster.
