Welcome to my collection of "Selfie Pop Art"! I'm just a humble enthusiast who enjoys creating modern art in my own unique style. Inspired by artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, I believe art is subjective—it doesn't have to fit a traditional mold to be appreciated. Personally, I find more joy in viewing an Andy Warhol "Marilyn Monroe" color photocopy than in some classic Renaissance paintings that took the artist years to create. Much like my love for contemporary music, I embrace the beauty of what catches my eye, how it moves me, and the vibrant colors it presents.

​

In the early 2000s, before selfies became ubiquitous, I found myself experimenting with self-portraits on platforms like Myspace, initially created for bands. I used these platforms to create larger-than-life images of myself and my band. As a Creative Director for radio stations, I honed my skills in creative imaging, promotional propiganda to manipulate the masses for radio ratings (in a good, fun, and harmless way.)  Photoshop, editing, and sound production that would shake the airwaves in the U.S. and Europe. I started using Photoshop to enhance my self-image long before the term "selfie" became popular. With the emergence of Facebook, I playfully dubbed myself "The King of Selfies," turning the act of self-expression into an art form. 

​

My inspiration draws from of course the desire to be loved but also drawn from the Pet Shop Boys' song "Delusions of Grandeur," which humorously critiques those who seek to dominate the world with their image. While my face may never adorn the billboards of Times Square, I revel in the creative freedom afforded by Photoshop and AI to craft artistic illusions.

As a child of the 80s and a devoted fan of vibrant colors and pop culture, my "Pop Art" pays homage to the iconic imagery of that era. It's all in good fun, a lighthearted celebration of self-expression and creativity. After all, while having a healthy self-image is important, it's equally crucial not to take oneself too seriously or harbor ambitions of world domination.

Yours Truly, King of the World,
