"I’m an eclectic machine. My illustrations are for me, first, then for those who need them. I don’t know what my work is, and never have; I like sharp edges and organic messes. When it’s not technical, it’s sentimental and sometimes horrifically unusual and cryptid. It’s about people, and me (whatever me is), and things that happened to be so weird they became normal."
