I am working on finding my style and honing what I'm about. In a word; cohesion. Something that keeps coming up is humor. In college I really felt uncomfortable with the utmost seriousness that came with higher level art. The issues that were tackled really were serious and I mean no disrespect but my most natural response was to create art that was blatantly silly, rude and mischievous. Lately "mischief" has been a bit of a mantra and it's giving me some focus. It feels like the right thing. I decided to illustrate children's books. Most children can appreciate some good mischief, it's precisely that spirit that often gets squashed as an adult. Between raising kids, working, cleaning and generally being responsible my mischief child is being squashed. I want her to come out and play. I know I spelled mischief wrong. Fuck it.
