Another panel from the surreal comics slowly manifesting itself within the pages of my apparently innocent sketchbook. This one's about a twisted doctor, his two assistants and some terribly mutated experiments.
HEY APATHY! is an ongoing artistic investigation into people, monsters the metropolis and the mechanics of being. In the earliest artworks the city is announced as a giant gear propelled by an endlesss sea of anonymous denizens. Since that time I have experimented with an increasingly public artist's process involving , giant wall murals, outdoor festival performances and street art interventions. As a result I have talked to thousands of people from all over the world and of all walks of life. Today the artworks still describe the city as an ominous gear, only now it is all the strange and unique individuals, not faceless cogs, who fuel the machine. HEY APATHY! has been featured at the A.G.O., the storefront of the Hudson's Bay Co.,and won various awards and honors from the Canadian Council for the Arts, the Ontario Art's Council, and the Ontario College of Art and Design.
