QUIRKY B'S ARE HERE!





                

        










Art aside, I am preventing keyboards from burdening landfill sites.


They become the canvasses upon which I create and project otherwise ineffable emotions and responses to life.

 Andy Warhol
said that an
artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have. This, of course, does not
preclude wanting to have
said objects.

If he were alive in this millennium, his finger might point at me and the Quirky B’s I create but he would, no doubt, commend me for choosing a common item, the lowly computer keyboard, and using it to create art, or at the very least, turning it into art.

Try to imagine the Quirky B's in the manner Andy Warhol and other pop artists might.

In taking an icon of mass culture, a consummate consumer product, and recreating it, defacing it, redefining it, my art is the antithesis of the sixties affectless repetition of soup cans and multi-coloured Marilyns and yet it is as representative of popular culture as any pop art.
