Currently, I am working on a series of animals with defensive modes. For these cartoon animals (which are realized both two- and three-dimensionally) I have developed elaborate and evolving narratives.

These narratives are about my sarcastic views of the war. Instead of sending humans to do “the defensive job,” what would happen if we made hybrid animals that would have the defensive gene already installed? Which animals would we choose? Which animals already have these inherited characteristics?

After painting many stories, I am able to understand how these characters live. Once I have done numerous paintings and have a great understanding about the characters, they are then allowed to jump off the canvas into the 3-D world. When in 3-D land, I am then able to put them into new environments, where new chaos erupts.
