This collection of paintings was created in 2008 and 2009 and are a result of rigorous exercises in learning to illustrate a book-like aesthetic using watercolor. There has never really been a single vision, only an exploration of many passing fantastical thoughts. In these works, I was playing with a certain depth of allegory by illustrating a literal depiction of an absurd thought or an abstract dream. Fantasy is most satisfying for me as a subject matter because it reveals things we don't see in ordinary life. Because the works vary so much in content, I am avoiding writing a description for every one, however I commit to explaining the painting to the purchaser. Of course there is a silliness to most of them and I intend for people not to take me too seriously, but I've always had those enjoyable moments of seeing past the ridiculous and having a secret desire to include myself in the imaginary events.
