Most of my recent work investigates the Jekyll & Hyde relationship that human civilization has with alcohol. The series of artwork uses satirical tongue-in-cheek humor, social commentary, human geography, demographic trends & patterns to focus on the history and mythology of alcohol as a fundamental part of our society.  One of my points of departure relates to the illuminated manuscripts produced during the Roman Empire, only substitute the religious passion with comedic delivery.  Whenever possible, I use wit to blur the narrative lines between fact, popular culture and fiction, allowing me to answer questions that often times only exist in my imagination.
