collections


People always ask about artist's influences and, 
often, the sources are surprising!
I know smoking is wrong (and I don't even smoke)
but I have collected 1920's smoking flapper objects for years.
They're so sassy, liberated and BAD, 
I think they've become a muse for me of sorts.


Cubeb smokers.


Sometimes they even directly influence my artwork:

"The Hazards of Smoking"
22"
Vaudeville series 2004
