When life gets you down, sometimes all you need is something utterly ridiculous to make you smile.

I'm an artist, and I create funny, witty cartoons that are just as relatable as they are weird. I pair deadpan humor with a simplistic style to create illustrations that make you laugh.

Unclench your jaw and enjoy some of my new artwork below!

I always start my illustrations with a joke or idea. I keep a page in my Notes app on my phone where I jot down silly thoughts or ideas that I think are worth remembering. I was inspired to do this after learning about David Shrigley’s “to draw list,” where he keeps a list of ideas so that he is prepared to create when he sits down at his desk. My Notes app is packed with nonsense and nuggets of ridiculousness that would have been forgotten if I hadn’t quickly noted them down.

I either have a visual in mind immediately (those are my favorite types of ideas—the faster I have the idea and create the comic, the more I tend to like it), or I have to stew on it for a few days, weeks, or even months. I’m always cautious not to force an idea. If I can’t find a way to keep it simple, then I won’t create it yet.

Humor unites people in a way that I don’t think is spoken about enough. I create my work with the intention of appealing to people who don’t typically engage with art. You don’t have to know anything about the art world to enjoy my work; you just have to be human. In doing this, my work is known and spread among every type of person imaginable, from your local butcher to celebrities. How wonderful is it that we can all laugh at the same playful silliness?

A friend and I had this joke about a guy called Justin Case. I don't think any of us ever really 100% got our own joke, but we laughed at it and kept building on the joke.... Justin Case.

The swear words, and all dialogue in my work for that matter, occur completely naturally. I create my comics exactly how I would say them myself. The deadpan expression, dry tone, and blunt comments reflect how I talk and joke in real life, so when I’m writing the dialogue, I just write whatever comes naturally. I think this realness, accompanied by the very cartoony, minimalistic style, makes for eyebrow-raising work that is unexpected yet somehow completely relatable.

When life gives you lemons, remind it that lemons aren't naturally occuring but actually are a crossbreed between a bitter orange and a citron - which means life never gave us lemons, we did it all by ourselves!

Good to know I'm not alone in this. I literally was rubbing my food baby belly last night, standing in the pantry debating which "4th meal" food I was going to eat. *BURP!*

"I will now proceed to make 200 versions of this document, but none of them will include the "Cyan" cartridge, so they will all be useless to you!"

"Yum. I'm 'bout to eat this chopped up chicken cooked in the scrambled amniotic fluid and remains of her children. Death never tasted so good!"

Slide a piece of cardboard under it and take the spider outside and let it go. That is what I do.
