My art is really inspired by the general nostalgia I feel for my childhood, specifically the cartoons from the 90’s and early 2000’s. The bright colours, the chunky imaginative creatures, the strange nightmarish undertones you couldn’t quite put your finger on (think H.R. Pufnstuf or Gogs).
But in a more meaningful way than just aesthetic inspiration from that era, I want my art to encapsulate the fun and silliness of what being a child was like. Things naturally become more serious as we get older, but I’ve tried to stay committed to never feeling too untethered from the joy, humour and general vibrancy of what being a child was like, and I hope my art can bring that feeling back for other people who view it.
