1 What is/are the primary reason(s) for you to make work in the first place? The pursuit of personal satisfaction and avoiding proper work. 2 What do you intend your work to convey to an audience? I hope people pick up on the humour in the work but see that that is not just what it is about. 3 Why do you work in your chosen medium and format? I Work in various different mediums and formats dependent on whatever idea I am working on at that time. 4 Technically speaking how do you go about constructing your work, that is the image or object itself? What devices do you employ? I will have an idea for an image and then find source material that I can work from. In the past when I have had difficulty finding appropriate source material I have also made plastacine models that I have lit and photographed to make the drawing from. 5 Which period(s)/artists/specific works of art are you influenced by and how directly? How does this manifest in your work? I have been influenced strongly by comic artists such as Robert Crumb but also by first and second World War propaganda posters and 18th and19th century satirical etching. 6 What stimulates/informs your work from the world around you? Any thing that catches my eye. 7 What stimulates/informs your work from your own personal experience? I think being obsessed with the Beano form a young age had an effect. 8 From where do you derive your other visual source material (i.e. non art historical) and how do you implement this material within your work? I take my own photographs and use google a lot. 9 What are the main problems that you face in making your work? Having no money . 10 Where do you intend to take your work from here? Hopefully somewhere unexpected.
