There's a lot of symbolism going on in these pictures, so I'll tell you what I was thinking about and what my intentions were as I created each piece. But of course, you're more than welcome to interpret what you see in any way that you'd like.
I call this "Pop-tarts plus Nike Swoosh equals 4 Eva." It's all about the fact that I really like pop-tarts and think that Nike swooshes are cool.
This piece is called "Sega Game Gear with Ninja Turtle Arms." When I was a kid, I used to play with my Game Gear all the time. I also played with my ninja turtles all the time. I wish the two things could have been combined. So, this picture is all about hopes and dreams.
Here we have "Alternate Space Jam Poster in which the Moon is Dunking While Wearing Moon Shoes." Space Jam should have been about space--planets and pulsars and stuff should have been playing basketball. It would've been more educational that way. And then I think that if the moon were playing basketball, it would probably be wearing moon shoes because those things were super sweet.
This is "Mexican Pizza Rainbow Pot of Gold." Mexican Pizzas are so good, man. (Though, now that I think about it, "Mexican Pizza" may be a little racist. Like, I'm sure that some Taco Bell CEO approved the name and that the "Mexican Pizza" isn't a traditional dish.) Anyway, I'm in my Mexican-Pizza-Rainbow-Pot-of-Gold phase. It's my current obsession as an artist. I have fifteen more pictures like this in my sketchbook.
This one is called "Honeycomb Hideout." Here you'll notice that I'm swimming in Honeycomb cereal. I'm really happy about this and don't seem to notice that a spoon is hovering above me and that I'm about to be eaten. The interesting thing--and something that isn't necessarily apparent from the picture--is that I'm also holding the spoon. So, I'm about to eat myself.
I call this piece "Recorder Surrounded by Flames." I think that recorders are pretty badass. One time I saw this street musician playing "Big Rock Candy Mountain" on the recorder and when he was finished, he set the recorder on fire. You know, kind of like Jimi Hendrix. Obviously that didn't actually happen. But wouldn't it have been cool if it did?
This is just a memorial piece I did in honor of the Ecto Cooler.
Another memorial piece. This time, for Squeeze-Its, which no longer exist.
If you want me to draw a picture for you, and really, how could you not after seeing all of these, I'll totally do it. For free! I'm dead serious.* Just send me an email and make sure that whatever you request isn't too hard to draw.
