Medieval manuscripts, Mad Magazine, Art Nouveau, Alice in Wonderland, Morse code, Persian miniatures, Monty Python, scientific illustration, 17th century poetry, Flemish Renaissance paintings & the art of the insane...

They're all sources of inspiration for my curious art! Now you know why I call my paintings "MANIAtures."

Making diverse elements work together is an obsession of mine. But then, I love brain-teasers of all sorts. Hidden images & messages find their way into most of my illustrations, even those that aren't formally puzzles, & I actually look forward to conversations that begin: "How on earth do we illustrate this?"
