ART

Art must stir an emotion, and mine has made people cry, scream and laugh. That is a reflection of life and politics and I portray it in these pieces – a collection of the unflinching and overtly disturbing.

DAVID

"Most people are bored, living their lives with their heads down. People are afraid, their opinions are squelched. For me, that's a shame. I like to get people thinking, scare them a little. I want to shatter people's illusions and maybe create new ones. I break people loose from complacency. That makes people uncomfortable."
