I work across painting, printmaking and writing. This is mostly about the writing part. Framed against self-help literature, personal essays, quotation books, and inspirational Instagram memes, these books are compiled collections of my individual text artworks. Written in the first person, these works are loosely absurdist, nihilist (¯\_(ツ)_/¯  maybe?), gallows jokes, puns, word-plays, and micro essays. Personal-ish diary-like entries and occasional illustrations are sprinkled though for pep. Ultimately, I guess my work is kind of a jokey punt at reconciling the mystery of existence.
