Other artists have criticized me for switching mediums and styles too often. I’ve been told it’s like I’m working off my brand. Look, isn’t one of the essential things about art is that the artist is free to express himself anyway he feels? Off brand? While the monetary rewards of having a ‘Brand’ might be enjoyable, that would ruin art for me. It’s like saying, ‘make something like what we liked before, only a little different…but not much different. Now do that for the rest of your life. ‘

The image below is a sketch I did based on the Live Jellyfish cam from the Monterey Aquarium. You too can watch these alien creatures live their abstract lives.
