-ICONIC PAINTINGS
from History, Literature and Popular Culture
While working on the managerial side of the animation industry, this San Fernando Valley native found himself developing his own style of caricature. Within this style, noses are not represented. Are the noses cut off to spite their faces? Can the characters not see past the end of their noses? Is this the direct result of them keeping their noses to the grindstone? The question is left open ended. The heads are always inflated. The eyes are big and expressive, yet semi-vacant and sometimes slightly cock-eyed. The face is always contorted into a never-ending scream, gasp or exclamation. These elements are combined into an overall result that perfectly reflects the artist's personal feelings about our shared history, literature and popular culture.
