“My work doesn’t belong in art galleries, it belongs in cubicles.”

[“Creativity With Purpose”: One of my recent canvases etc.]

I get asked all the time: “Why don’t you show in art galleries?”

And I always answer the same: “Because my work doesn’t belong in art galleries, it belongs in office cubicles.”

Even if you go back to the 1990’s, back when I was starting out, it was the same story. I always liked making art SPECIFICALLY for the workplace. I always liked making work that pushed that aspect of human existence further in the right direction.

After family, the time you spend in your place of work is the most important arena of your existence. That is where you go to find out, over time, who your true self really is.

And your true self needs art around it, your true self needs constant reminding that your true self ACTUALLY exists.

Your true self needs TOTEMS around that INSPIRE it on a daily basis.

That’s what I hope the cartoons help articulate, help bring to the surface. Unlike most of the knucklehead art you see around the gallery scene…

Besides, it’s a niche most other artists don’t really think about-  they’re too busy trying to conquer other worlds. Which is fine, even if those other worlds are already too crowded; already SATURATED with the froth of other knuckleheads.

“My work doesn’t belong in art galleries, it belongs in office cubicles.”

It’s not a bad life, I suppose…
