"Wonderful work.Integrating cartoon figures into painting is difficult -- "George Grosz and Diego Rivera Run Amok" is especially fun. The Fairy Tale Character and the Flame manages to contain the drama/action/interest to the two figures within the lost in the woods cartoonscape."

"I love this artist. The images are compelling, interesting, fun, retro. Great work. I love the movement of each of these samples. Great stories, snapshots."
