crazy crazy crazy

This is a mix of ideas I've had for a while. The diamond is a re-occurring element in my work, and usually I refer to it as a cubic zirconia, which is a fake jewel, fake luxury, pretending, etc. My work is often about identity, and the things we wear and do in order to come across a certain way. So much of our behaviour is pretending, or role-playing. I certainly see that when I walk the streets of the city, watching people strut around like peacocks. And I definitely saw that in the corporate world. Basically I find all of it kind of crazy, to put it simply. Also, an upsidedown diamond makes for an interesting letter 'A'.

Anyway, if there was such a thing as smart food, I'd want it to help me complete crossword puzzles and make savvy investment decisions.

All of the above are ink and watercolour on paper, 5x7 inches.

Artists are always making decisions in their work arbitrarily, and this is basically me celebrating that. In a world full of seriousness, where even most creative fields are geared toward serious purposes like marketing and selling and getting you to do something (vote for this guy, buy that soap, press this button, take that exit off-ramp, etc.), it's liberating to make something in a certain way... just because
