2017
2017 ARTIST STATEMENT On Sept. 10th, 2017, Hurricane Irma barreled through my region of South Florida. We were all hunkered down at the office, where we had generators and hurricane protection. I needed to keep the company working, so my family, many of our employees, and their families were there. We had well over 300 people in two buildings during the storm. I was nervous with a lot of responsibilities. We also have a data center in those buildings, and they must always have power and cooling. Hurricanes are severe, but we turn them into parties. As the storm was on top of us, we played some music, and I made a drawing. I must have been watching TV or something cause the storm ended up in my drawing. Most of the art I did in 2017 was related to music. Those pieces can quickly speak for themselves. Notably, I invented a term to describe my live drawing style. I call it ‘Frenetic Drawing,’ the act of drawing rapidly while listening to loud music on a live stage. You will discover some great examples of this on the following pages.
