The artist says “ describe myself as a POP artist. I chose pop art probably as a result of my retail store in Pittsburgh’s South Side, called GROOVY Pop Culture Emporium. For the past nine years I have been selling collectibles, mostly toys. I have acquired a warehouse of art supplies as a result of many years of collecting and doing business. Most often I use toys in my artwork, and so naturally I would love to construct a toy-covered dinosaur!”
