If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?

Conceptual, Digital, Drawing, Installation, Painting, Performance, Sculpture

I am...

a retired U.S. Navy illustrator/draftsman, a self-publishing author of six books, an advocate for the body as God's masterpiece and for freedom of the press and artistic expression. My artwork is designed with the specific intent to provoke. If you are not provoked in some way by my work, you might want to check your pulse!

About my artwork

I do 3-D illustrations, using either ceramics, concrete, Portland cement or Super Sculpey, with the majority being in the latter medium, due to my disability's lifting restrictions. I use the body as my subject matter in most of my work. Some of it is serious, some of it is comical, and some of it can be offensive to closed-minded people. I frankly don't give a damn. If someone is offended by the body and its beauty, they need to get a life - God's life.

Artists I like

Rodin, Monet, Renoir, Michelangelo, DaVinci, Durer.

Interests

Being happily married, the biblical and historical Jesus Christ, all-things-Irish, traditional Irish and Scottish music, singing - 1st and 2nd tenor.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?

Any exhibition that has artwork pointed towards the truth is a good exhibition. I don't appreciate stuff that matches people's sofas or is "pretty."

The centre of the artworld is

nowhere and everywhere
