I like creating a little conflict in my work. Here I've cast a retro-era Robin "The Boy Wonder", pitted him against foes, surrounded him with riddles and challenges, symbols and icons of power, and some of his superhero weaponry and gadgets. I think the struggle to be more human than human is interesting.

Novelty of Life – acrylic, pastels, and pencil on gallery canvas, 12 x 48 (2007) – $1650

This was a commentary on artificial life – I think it will become a real part of our lives + culture within the next few decades. This painting was inspired by one of the first artificial life products, 1957's Instant Life or as it was known after it was renamed in 1962 – Sea Monkeys. I always believed it was just monkey eggs and water, it was stranger when I learned the actual ingredients - they seemed like something out of a science-fiction B-movie, and how salt was used to stimulate reproduction. The original comicbook advertisements promised that these miniature creatures were actually trainable. It makes be wonder what brave new future we have waiting for us and what fantastic claims they will make.

I was flipping through old magazines and comicbooks looking for hidden messages when I found a 1930's pulp magazine Amazing Stories with a great painted cover of a huge spaceship frying the frantic humans to a crisp. I thought it was both funny + disturbing that it was so glorified. Like as humans we somehow wanted all this to happen to us – or maybe it was just some kind of war-time recruiting propaganda. But we really don't need any outerspace enemies, we can exterminate each other quite efficiently without needing help from any brain-melting aliens.
