Work

“Almost everything I do is basically comprised of these 3 categories:

  • Landscape: NYC located/themed sampled vintage photography
  • Protagonist/s: Retro (early 20th-century studio, Max Fleischer, Otto Mesmer) hand-drawn cartoon
  • Narrative/s: Beatnik or Bohemian NYC poetry or political speeches

the result is a pulp digital montage of NYC social history.”
