I had first started to be interested in Collage/Montage art in the early nineties, when after hearing the now legendary Virus 100 compilation album that had just been released by Alternative Tentacles, I discovered the songs of the Dead Kennedys (albeit by proxy). I then went out and bought their debut LP "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" and was completley blown away by the artwork that was used in the fold-out within, it was the first time that I had seen such an aggressive and witty juxtaposition of images, and a perfect marriage of an albums music and its packaging. After that I collected whatever I could get of theirs, and singer Jello Biafra's work, and set about creating my own work, based on the contributions from Winston Smith and John Yates.
It wasn't too long before I started putting out my own zine, first called "Noise Annoys" and later on, "Greedy Pigs", both of which of course drew heavilly on on my artwork, and also the work of others. Greedy Pigs survived eight issues of art, punk-rock, anecdotes, pranks, and a few columns sometimes, before coming to an end in 1998, when I decided to concentrate on getting work into other peoples magazines and eventually, creating my own website (this is something like the sixth or seventh version of the site to date).
From that point on, my work has appeared on the covers and/or withing the pages of some great magazines such as Direct-Action Quarterly, The Freethinker, Skratch, Impact Press (unfortunately no longer in print) and Fracture (also unfortunately no longer running). Since then, I also contributed two pieces of artwork to the critically-acclaimed book of anti-Gulf war illustrations, "Peace Signs".
More commisioned work is on the horizon, and I am planning on working towards approaching a publisher about a collection of my own work, which has been a goal for some time now, that and to find ways to use my work to help "Monkey-Wrench the New World Order."
