My drawings and paintings have evolved into a visual language, words, sentence. Representing philosophies I have. On what is happening in our urban environment and the social and psychological impact it is having on us as a world-society. with cellular phones, computers, faxes, pagers, cash machines, automated everything we are closing off ourselves from human interaction.

We are learning to become more familiar with plastic and metal than with a handshake. People are numbers and figures to be used as statistical information. We are spending less time socially with our family and friends than ever before. There are whole sub-cultures incapable of simple social skills. Our world is getting smaller but at the same time so is humanity. We as a society are desensitized and accept horrors of real life as if it were a movie.

There is an overwhelming feeling of apathy in our nation right now, many people have no hope in the future especially the children. They are being taught by overworked, underpaid, apathetic teachers. Who try hard to teach but are faced with outrageous conditions. Extra curriculum classes are being cut out of school systems right and left. There are less afterschool sports programs, clubs. The parks are closing, leaving the children to be latch key kids and getting involved in gangs and violence. These are just a few of the problems of America today. With all these involved aand complex problems it is easy to be apathetic.

My Coffee Cup series represents the sense of community. Coffee houses for business meetings and to meet friends. People drink coffee in the morning to get going. There is the coffee break a time to think over the rest of the day, to relax and unwind. There is coffee served at dinner or after dinner. People serve coffee to guests to be social.

Coffee to me is a symbol of communication stopping and smelling the flowers and enjoying life for today. it is a time express and exchange ideas and thoughts. It is a time of interaction. I feel society needs to focus on communication. Working inwards outwards. Solving problems of the home, then community, then country, state, nation and then the world.

These works are just a part of a whole idea to reinstall the sense of hope and sense of power in one’s self.

F-the system I say. Dam the man. Screw the Fuzz. I don’t care if we are the land of the free. Look around man, we are being watched by a silent society. The statues quo. The Norms. We’re not people were numbers, that we’re given at birth to follow us to our death. SS man. Social Security. Big Bro is watching us through our T.V. spying on us and our act-tivi-ties. Those satalietes up there aren’t for the weather, cable or spying on “the enemy”.  ‘Cause we’re the enemy. The Problem. The’re aimed at us maaaan.

The man has changed to Turner, L. Ron Hubbard and Walt Dis-ney. They own our eyes our minds make us Laugh & Cry with colorized memories and cute warm fuzzy movies. Tugging at our heartstrings. But when you’re not looking they corrupt your mind with GARBAGE to buy, buy, buy. Spend your hard earned money. You think you are beyond their control. They don’t effect me! But that is the beauty of the Man, the Plan to hit upside the head when your are not looking. You better watch out. Dam the Man and his many fingers and his secret spies of corporate America. Open your Eyes stand on watch. F the Man for he is watching, F the Man for is going to F YOU!

Sweaty feet

is a yummy treat

blue mosquitos eat.

Sweet pixie sticks.

I cross the quite innocent wet grass,

and they up jump for joy.

Each step I take

is a new attack.

Party,

lunch,

down.

Party,

lunch.

down.

Fin-a-lly

I reach my destination.

Salvation.

Searing, melting,

bright

concrete.

I am relieved,

or only but a second

until I meet another lovely lawn.

Sweaty feet is  a yummy treat

for those big blue mosquitos.

I see the little monsters
that screams out at different times
they come out of nowhere
but always perform different crimes.
When they are hiding
they sit and knaw on my sides.
My head, my neck
and sometimes even my eyes.
It bothers me to know they're their
and I can not always control them.
But I see the little monsters
and I am trying to destroy them.

Little Blue meanies
eat the pink apricots
out of my purple hoof
and sit back
onto their yellow puke chair
whistle dixie
as the clown clouds go buy,
I'll dance in a circle with a finger on my head
spinning to entertain
spinning to be insane.
I'll be a fool for you
so you won't be bored
but I wonder
when will you entertain?
Wour purple fingers
pick your noses
and lud toothy yawns
announce your boredom.
I fall down in exhaustion
and think to myself
this is not worth my time.
So I walk away and decide to play
and wait
for others to entertain.

You are awesome!

We would love to interview you!
