I paint to stay sane in an insane world. Pop culture is no longer a mass media shared experience, but rather an all-too-alienating private interaction manipulated by powerful technology designed to dominate how we live, love, work, and think. Artificial intelligence influences who we date, what we consume, watch, and believe.
I spent decades innovating and creating the very technologies that now control us. I created video games that adapted to players' skill levels to increase addictive engagement and advertising platforms that both big business and politicians could use to influence the outcomes of future events. To paraphrase Jurassic Park’s Dr. Ian Malcolm, “I was so preoccupied with whether we could do these things, that I didn’t stop to think if I should.”

Men Should Be Glad I Just Want Equality And Not Revenge
Nah, you should be glad you have running water, electricity, transportation, homes etc ... I don't see many women applying for jobs in construction and maintaining all systems that keep your life comfortable. So yeah, only thing you can offer man is sex, so that's why you hate men
In 1968, when Andy Warhol proclaimed that “in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, he couldn’t have imagined a world where unplugging and becoming anonymous would become a luxury. Tinder, Netflix, beauty filters, and Alexa provide value to users, but at what cost? Each of my works are colorful threads unravelling from this one sardonic tapestry of thought. My paintings explore this value exchange of privacy for convenience, intimacy for popularity, and true connections for likes.

Why Is My Mother So Good At Pushing My Buttons?
My artwork shifted to be more introspective during Covid. As we all relied heavily on social media, the negative impact started to become more apparent. For the first year of the pandemic, I created a painting every day and shared them online.

Being 20 In The 70s Was More Fun Than Being 70 In The 20s
Me as well, Bill - the '70s were great fun... '20s, not so much!

Life Would Be Easier If I Could Mark Some People As Spam
The vibrant colors I paint with are used to convey the look of comic books from half a century ago. When I design a piece, the colors and playful style of the composition are used to lure the viewer into the picture. The dialog bubble then tells a different story. At gallery shows, I enjoy watching these stories unfold on people's faces and their laughter comes from a place of surprise.

For all the changes I've experienced with technology in my lifetime, I think the biggest changes are coming over the next decade with artificial intelligence and Robotics disrupting millions of lives. How we work, live, love and play is all going to be irrevocably altered. At the same time, technology is our only hope for solving climate change, food inequality, and a myriad of other social issues.

One of the funniest things I ever watched was someone trying to drive legally in GTA V. They would get rear ended while waiting at a light, and the npc would get out of their car and run off screaming

Load More Replies...Is Posting This Selfie Empowering Or Objectifying?
Depends if the person in the picture consents for it to be posted. With consent? Empowering! Without consent? Objectifying AND illegal.
I've had a thought about that. Now get ready to downvote, my darling triggerinos, but if a girl can cockblock then it's empowering. If she gives it away to everyone then it's objectifying. Hope I'm in the ballpark at least.

Not all radiation is ionizing radiation. And while microwaves can heat food, I doubt phones radiate on those particular frequencies. Not to mention how long a phone's battery and emitter would take to make popcorn.
there are even thousands of items that emit radiation closer to unhealthy radiation than phone radiation wherever humans are. (clue: its scientific name is homo sapiens)

I hate the fact that all of these abysmally and arrogantly ignorant wannabe "progressives" foam at the mouth about "GeNeTiCaLlY MoDiFiEd FoOd", while entirely ignoring the truly evil financial practices of Montesano and their ilk.
It's Monsanto and they are not as evil as pressure groups like Greenpeace make them.

I love these! Very funny and I love the classic comic book style!!
These are pretty cleaver. The artist, should re-do them as bigger paintings (if they can) to exhibit
