The work tends to fall into geometric abstraction that is done with an imperfect precision using mainly ink and gouache on German postcards. Having worked in Photoshop and Illustrator myself, the process here is a reversal from the archetypical contemporary digital graphic design that gives us the expectation of flawless perfection in every visual effort.  This flawless perfection, I feel, has potential to lead us to flawless boredom.

My process is simple, I begin with postcards of vintage advertising. I accelerate the age of the cards and then add lines using rapidograph pens. Some of the time I'll draw with divergent combinations of a straight edge and free hand to create a contrast between the perfection of a straight line and the allure of the imperfect. I might add gouache, diamond dust, colored pencil, crayon, shredded currency or paperback in a collage like effort. I tend to either make the featured image from the original graphic appear to be three dimensional or will completely obscure it with ink or paint. I try to get the feel of the movement or lines of the original image and either mimic it or contradict it. Like interplay between musicians, this is in many ways to me, not unlike collaborating with another musician in a musical setting.
