INTERESTS
I am interested in graphic design for its compatability with
narrative. I have always been fascinated with political
propaganda posters and how succinct
motivational narratives can be
constructed using graphics. In addition
to political/commercial art, I also enjoy
the low-brow humorist art common
throughout surfing and hot rod culture.
