Statement  




Oil Paint -
Offers Unlimited Possibilities.
Is a reach into the infinite. 
Is always waiting to offer more to you every time you go to it. 
You can never reach its limit.

All of my creations ultimately end up as paintings.

I have recently become fully digitally capable. I no longer sculpt for source material.

I work as a graphic designer, creating ads digitally in a rapid environment. So my toolbox has always been fluidity in Photoshop, etc. So now I use Photoshop for image manipulation as source material.

I will always be a traditional painter, because nothing beats an original hand-made analog creation.  Analog creations are of the highest order in human capabilities.  Digits, all those 1's and 0's, remain servants to human nerve impulses and emotional (over)reactions of the ego.

Painting only dies once the cyborgs take over.  So if anyone mentions to you the invalidity of painting "these days", then you've come across a cyborg.
