The “Working On My Brand” series was developed through a decade-long observation of the living world shape-shifting outside of my eyes. In my mind, I have been constantly attempting to make my work grow to give it the feeling of being alive. I guess you could say, that is my brand.
 
Surprisingly, in the past few years, I have witnessed so many examples of those who design new images and brands for themselves that can sometimes appear to care more about if their brands look like they care, than actually caring. So how does one comfortably maneuver the feeling of everyday living through this rather upside down world way of thinking? For me, it’s always the fusion of humor. By deciphering many images of recent brands that we all have seen, I try to create work finding the gaps of humor, that no one else saw.
 
Humor as a visual medicine.
