. Sometimes social media is like sifting through an online thrift shop, and I get to audit other people’s memories. I love that.Image courtesy Trenton Doyle HancockI normally don’t get stuck when I’m working. Or maybe I should say that I don’t get stuck from a lack of ideas. Honestly, I’m more likely to get stuck from having too many ideas, and having a hard time knowing which path I should go down.
I admire honesty in work. I know that’s subjective, but there is honesty in a kind of mark-making that does not have bearing on the intelligence of the art, but that is doing what it is meant to do. It can be a dumb mark or a smart mark, but I admire a mark that knows what it is. And, I feel the exact opposite about a mark that does not know what it is. For me, a mark can be any kind of treatment on an artwork, not just a brush stroke or a graphite line.
In addition, I love to surround myself with VHS covers from the ’80s and ’90s, as well as packaging from toys, games, and other objects from that era—there is a landfill of evidence from this time. I love how packaging is designed to capture and hold your attention, and I love thinking about how to attract someone to an object myself. I recently designed a set of toys featuring some of my main characters as children. They include Torpedo Boy, Undom Endgle, Bringback, and Infants Soul.
