Most people believe that art has to have some kind of deep, philosophical meaning or heavy context to be considered "good art". I don't agree with that line of thinking. In these turbulent times that we live in, we need humor in our lives to help us cope with and escape from all of the chaos and drama that surrounds us. Throughout my life humor has helped me deal with many trials and tribulations. It has enabled me to grow and understand the world around me from a different perspective. They do say that "laughter is the best medicine". We play as kids. We grow up and become stuck in the trappings of adulthood, forgetting the joy of childhood and that freedom of fun and play. Humor allows us to step back and connect with that inner child again. Humor keeps us sane. This belief is the basis of my work. Firstly, I want to make people laugh; secondly, I want to make them think. There is truth in humor. In the end if all they do is laugh, I'm okay with that because I'm laughing with them.
