I am an artist that is out in the world trying to make a living and survive. For me the rewards of art and life are in the process. I feel that art is just as much about the process as it is the finished product. Without taking the time to discover the mistakes and eliminate bad ideas one will never get to the best possible solution. It is important to me to create artwork that sends a good message and is appealing to the eye. I strive to create art that is clean, well crafted, planned out, and thought provoking. At the same time, it is vital that the work has a strong sense of humor, individuality, meaning, and purpose. I think many things can be accomplished and expressed through art that may not be possible in any other way. So feel free to take a look around and buy multiple items from the store.
Thanks,
- Tom
