The images used in my work are inspired by a variety of everyday life sources. The outward similarity to some Pop Art is unmistakable, yet these are not instantly recognizable icons of pop culture. These images possess an iconic importance but only to the point of looking important. Despite the bold presentation, the characters remain enigmatic and mysterious. The anonymity of the image has become an important idea to me. Presented in a flat, comic book style, the characters usually appear some-what cartoonish. Precise, clean edges give the paintings a machine-made appearance yet closer inspection reveals that this is hand done work. Humor, ambiguity, image placement on the canvas as well as in the context of the art world - the irony of making such silly, doodlish figures the subject of "high art" - are my main concerns.
