Automaton, 2017

This piece looks like a giant floating mouth  or animated character that is about to speak. The source image is taken looking directly up the at the façade of a Museum in Los Angeles, and I was surprised at the sublime nature of the creature that emerged in the final piece. A lot of my art is based on our instinctual ability to detect faces as an evolutionary survival trait, so look closely for the faces in my work, and you will see an array of great characters.

Centerpede, 2022

Centerpede looks like some giant creature crawling around with thousands of legs, observing you with the giant eye positioned in the middle of its anatomy. The source image is simply a fence corner somewhere in Van Nuys, CA, but the red color and in contrast with the blue sky creates a perception of organic complexity.
