“Dissatisfied with the computer-generated digital revolution, I clung to artists, writers, and filmmakers that championed our ugly imperfections. I was coerced by the intensity and raw aesthetic of early 80s American hardcore punk, as well as the tangible textural proficiency from practical effects in my favorite midnight movies and pulp films. Airbrushed heavy metal album covers, punk zines, horror comics, dystopian science fiction, and pre-internet outsider art scratched the proverbial itch. They were all instrumental in my emotional and psychological responses to the ever-slick digital landscape.”
