| About the Artist |
Paints and draws weird figures, lines that fit together somehow, cartoon girls and boys, places for them to live. Lots of colour is used to brighten up the dull grey world. Is hopeless with technology. Inspiration comes from cities, non-cities, human behaviour, the surrealists, graffiti, pollock, japanese art, calligraphy, electronica and lots more musik. literature like sigmund freud and terrence mckenna have influenced the depicted subjects. Although i have attended various art institutions, I've managed to gain no formal training, so outsider art is also a great influence along with the links to creativity and madness. |
