Kevin has a truly distinct artistic style—with his rough, textured collages, and distorted caricatures—that he claims to have learned and developed on his own, despite the four years of art school (ps. OCAD?). I'm excited to be posting about another collage artist from my very own city! I particularly like the continuity (of the forks, really) in his series called "Disease Logic."

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.

... That's my little joke.

A: Photocopied Photographs, moved while the machine is copying to get a distortion. That and traditional mediums like paint, pastels, etc, but no scissors.
