Sometimes I like to just post the drawings and let them speak for themselves, but I’m often asked to justify the way I draw — I draw “messy” because life is messy, complicated, energetic, and interconnected — how could I draw any other way?

Judging Artwork

In no particular order of importance, I believe artwork can be judged on at least the following criteria:

  • Emotional provocation
  • “Craftmanship”
  • Innovation
  • Truth
  • Conceptual complexity/quality
  • Integrity (or consistency)
  • Transcendentalism
