Idiosyncratic? Is it a critique of the media or a critique of subjectivity? How much does he speak of himself through the images of popular culture? Underground Comics, Inner-city Romances. What are his influences and sources? How did he arrive at the work that he makes? Indulging urges no matter how vague, mundane, sexual, etc., What is his inspiration? What is the democratic potential of the form? Is it anti-elitist?
