About my artwork
Words, cliches and colloquial expressions in American English are the center of my art activities. I collect them, edit them, arrange them and hand paint them in an italicized digital font of my design.
The digital font is consistent, technical, empirical and precise while the subject matter is composed of informal communication habits. The font is neutral, like radio, so a variety of topics can be used as subjects.
Idioms are the perfect folk art. They belong to no one, are not authored by anyone but are used by everyone. They are readymade, pure media and part of the fabric of American English.
After an editorial process they are hand painted on canvas, paper or mylar. In some cases these phrases are used in message readers, live readings, and towed behind airplanes. In addition, I make and sell am award winning gourmet spice blend called Uh Huh.
